      The bug

      The Unicode font is very thin and unreadable.
      Examples:

      • Gui scale small.
      • Signs from 2-3 blocks distance.
      • Scaling chat lower then 60 % (gui scale normal).

      The Default Font for Everything, v0.0 for Minecraft 1.8.4 (DF4E.zip) by kapos fixes this issue.
