Font Fixer

This mod fixes and extends font rendering capabilities in legacy versions of Minecraft. It implements a more modern version of the FontRenderer class, borrowed from Minecraft 1.12.2, which resolves several long-standing text display issues.

Key Improvements

• Fixed text width calculation for characters beyond the standard ASCII table
• Font height increased from 8 to 9 pixels for better readability
• Added support for glyphs and Unicode characters
• Restored missing formatting codes and text colors
