Font Fixer

Summary

This mod fixes and extends the Font Renderer in Legacy versions of Minecraft by essentially backporting a newer version of the FontRenderer class (1.5.2 was used as the base in version 1; 1.12.2 is used as the base in version 2).

Details

In particular, the following bugs have been fixed and features have been added:

• Fix the text width calculation and shadows when rendering non-ASCII characters
• Change Font height to 9 instead of 8
• Add support for glyphs/unicode characters
• Add missing formatting and color codes
