Hack description

Have you ever been playing the Hudson Soft classic Faxanadu and thought to yourself, "Boy, that HUD/menu font sure is hard to read." Well, so did Jo Li. And that's why this ROM hack exists!

Within the download lays five variants:
* "Basic" - The USA Revision 1/Europe dialogue font.
* "Basic Italic" - A somewhat angled variant of the above!
* "Bold" - For those who like their HUD a little beefier!
* "Bold Italic" - Because you can't go wrong with big, leaning letters!
* "Shadow" - Same as Basic, but with a lovely drop shadow to add some style.

All five patches are completely compatible with the four regional variants of Faxanadu, so European and even Japanese players can benefit from a slightly different, much more legible HUD. Cool, huh?

Give it a download and enjoy uppercase Hs that no longer look like uppercase Ns!
