Hack description

Just like its predecessor, the menu font of Final Fantasy VI Advance (PAL) has uneven letters sourced from different variants of this typeface. Further, players have found the small font difficult to read when played on real hardware. Therefore, this package of two patches was created.

- SLIM beautifies the original thin font while keeping the original letter width, resulting in better-looking text while ensuring from none of the languages spill from window constraints.
- THICK is aimed at English-speakers only. Certain letters are widened as in the NTSC-U release, perfectly enhancing readability for the English text while causing spillovers in every other language.
- Both patches also redesign the in-battle HP/MP display so they match the menu font.

Out of all font patch this one is the best.	IAMNOTRANA	2021-11-07	Version 0.5
I have tried all the font patches that people have to offer, and this one is definitely the best, but one glaring issue is the letter "A" or "a" height isn't equal to other letters, and it sticks out like a sore thumb. It's most likely sharing same letter with another language in the game, but it would be nice to have a specific version catering toward the English version with the proper "A". Other than that, it's perfect overall.
