This project, at first, aimed to simply improve the thin menu font of the European release of FFVI
Advance, which seemed to be a combination of FFIV Advance's menu font and FFV/VI Advance's North
American menu font. Many characters of the font used in Europe were uneven or inconsistent with the
general font style, and so it was cleaned up. However, before release, a wider variant was created.

Since the initial distribution of this project, many of the patches that improved the game, and were
exclusive to the European release, have been made available to the US and Japanese versions.
However, some projects (Namely Rage Fix by Schicksal88 and Woolsey-Slattery Compromise by Black
Telomeres) remain European-exclusive. Therefore, these patches are still necessary.

Consider combining this project with the following others.

- Bregalad's Sound Restoration mod https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/657/
- Novalia Spirit's Color Restoration mod https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/765/
- Novalia Spirit's General Violence mod https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/1626/
- vivify93's Graphics Reverter mod https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/1085/

All 5 patches are compatible.


There are 2 patches contained in this archive. Choose 1 of the following.

 - FFVIA_EUfontlift_SLIMv0-1.ips: Has a better-looking font that preserves the width of the retail
    European GBA version. All five languages will be perfectly readable.

 - FFVIA_EUfontlift_THICKv0-1.ips: Widens most of the lowercase letters, giving it a feel more like
    the US release. There will be spillover issues with the four non-English languages.

Overview
========
- There are two patches: one that slightly widens the 8x8 font, and one that merely beautifies it
  while keeping it the same width.

- The countdown timer, battle HP display, and MP indicator numbers match the rest of the menu font.

- The standard and inverted question and exclamation marks have been thinned.

Changelog

v0.4
