Relates to MCPE-4534

Unicode characters need to use more pixels, so they look smaller.

@Mega_Spud, but Kapos' Default Font from MC-2488 uses bigger font, which looks like default Minecraft font. So, it's possible to do that in vanilla MCPE, I think.

Link for addon that fixes this issue was added.

user-f2760 2017-03-07T16:42:56Z

Because it won't get fixed any time soon.

I think all languages have this bug.When I played on Chinese,the font was sort of slimmer then English.

Vyacheslav Makhonin 2018-07-30T13:04:12Z

It's partically fixed in MC-2488 for Java Edition by font replacement. Hopefully it will be fixed for Bedrock too.

Given the emphasis on parity between versions, it's a good time to recall this issue.
The problem is still present in 1.15 betas/1.14 release. On Win10/Android, you can use the add-on with a modified font to solve the problem, but this action is not available on consoles, which is sad. I hope the solution will be included in the release of one of the upcoming updates, technically it is enough to simply include the font from the add-on provided in the bug description into the game.

Vyacheslav Makhonin 2020-02-26T18:31:27Z

Still in 1.15.0.53

DeeFeeCee 2020-12-01T01:44:28Z

Affects 1.16.100.

[Mod] EVGENSYPERPRO 2021-02-20T08:15:57Z

Affects 1.16.210.60

[Mod] EVGENSYPERPRO 2021-04-10T20:13:15Z

Achievements are in bold print. Why not make the font the main one?

It still affects the latest version)

[Mod] EVGENSYPERPRO 2021-04-10T20:23:49Z

Added a pack to the report as the link in the report is not working.

Please note that since version 1.16 there is an activation error, as a result of which you need to re-enter minecraft to activate / deactivate MCPE-124149.

Problem is still present with signs in 1.17.30.20, where inclusion of a single inflected character (in my case Ł) in a line of text on a sign will cause the entire line on that sign to change to the hard-to-read unicode font.

Clayton de Oliveira Jr 2021-09-27T01:53:27Z

The Unicode font is almost impossible to read in a device with a screen smaller than 6.5", even for a written Book & Quill where the text is upclose to the reader. The Unicode font used ingame must be reenginered.

By the way, found an addon wich solves it: https://mcpedl.com/mojangles-international-fontpack/

Vladislav Trocevsky 2021-12-05T05:15:29Z

Still is issue in 1.18

NukeThief 2023-03-30T18:05:04Z

The mod dosen't work with polish text.

For me this font addon has anti-aliasing on it when it's not on signs.

NukeThief 2024-02-27T16:33:44Z

still an issue in 1.20.62

luki646 2024-09-04T12:49:16Z

Strangely, Ore UI uses the Minecraft Seven font, which is slightly modified than the Java one, but the game itself uses Mojangles, created by 4J Studios and when you put a modified font based on glyphs, it thickens
