BUGS
Menus and dialogue display languages other than what you're playing in.
Install USSEP, then download the appropriate translation if you play in any language besides English: DE PL FR IT ES PT TK
Low resolution or pixelation on the font.
For ENB users, delete SMAA files if you use an ENB preset that uses SMAA. Be wary of using ReShade, as that usually reshades your font too, which can have very visually adverse effects.
I'm getting jumbled animated letters
