High Resolution Jumbled text fix
Hi all. I ran into an issue with my game where if I played with a very high resolution it caused the text to become gibberish. Everything else worked fine but on my 2256x1504 resolution screen I couldn't read any of the text. I had found suggestions that I just reduce the resolution and play like that.

I looked into the library files for fonts and found that the largest scale font library is missing the M and W, which shifts all other letters. Capitals are first in the library so everything between M and W are shifted by 1 and everything after W is shifted by 2 characters.

I ended up taking the M and W out of the next size down, scaling them up to match the height of other letters in the largest library, then created a new library with the new M and W included. Replacing the existing one completely fixed the issue with text. The issue also exists with AOW2 font libraries.

I'm not sure if anyone is maintaining the unofficial patches anymore, but i would be happy to provide my updated library file if it could fix this issue for anyone else. Or someone with more image editing skills than I have could make a better version cause my versions of the M and W do look slightly blurrier than the other letters.
