Alt Classic Font

UPDATE: I finished the Rebirth Version, available here: 

 Alt Classic Font Reborn

I made this mod because i really like the Classic Font mod by Matyamodding, except for 2 things:

1.  That mod is missing some large numbers in the main menu and party screens, plus it doesn't touch battle numbers (hp/mp/dmg/resist).  It felt inconsistent enough that it made me try to make my own mod.

2. The PS1-ish font is more accurate if trying to stay in the FF7 universe, but for me the FF3/6-ish font feels more readable during long sessions and just really fits nicely with the rest of the game.   I used it for my last playthrough and it felt very natural.  It felt good enough for me to share with people.

Compatibility

 This should work with pretty much any mod that isn't a font.   Also may conflict with any mod that modifies PS button prompts (since some battle numbers are inside the button prompt texture file).   If you have anything that modifies battle damage numbers or button prompts, you can try loading them after this mod, but battle/heal/etc numbers might not show correctly.

I apologize if it doesn't work on your machine, but there is a very low chance I will come back to this and redo it.  I tested on a PC running at 4k, and also on a Steam Deck, and both seemed to render fine.  Battle Numbers, especially, are a very manual process to import, because Matya's tool can't automate that part.

I am linking the tutorial at the bottom that got me started down this path and I kept track of which files need to be modified, if you end up wanting to mod this yourself to fix it.
