Courtesy of Reese. Mainly the accented characters are updated -
uppercase letters are now mostly a pixel higher to make them higher
than lowercase letters (and only a single pixel lower than uppercase
letters without accents, instead of two pixels lower). Accents for
lowercase letters have also been made thicker overall and changed in
appearance.
Also: this font image is converted to indexed grayscale instead of full
RGBA, which makes the file only 4.5 KB instead of about 10 KB.
They are not used yet in this commit - this just adds the graphics and
data for the glyphs. It also adds a <fallback> tag to font.fontmeta to
use buttons_8x8.
The icons themselves are made by Reese Rivers - see #859.
By default, when you open the level editor to start a new level, the
level font will now match your VVVVVV language; so if you're, say,
Japanese, then you can make Japanese levels from the get-go. If you
want to make levels for a different target audience, you can change the
font via a new menu (map settings > change description > change font).
The game will remember this choice and it will become the new initial
level font.
Since there's now a new XML-based font metadata file format to obsolete
the .txt file with all the glyphs, this commit switches the built-in
font to that new format.
This has a lot of characters that different languages need.
