Can't they just switch to something else?

I’m sure they will over time, but I would guess there’s a surprising number of potential issues with any font variance. That’s the kind of thing that can appear hardware-dependently, like certain high/low-res monitors showing fonts too big, too small, or even not at all. So any bug fixes that have come through on the subject will rely on user bug reports.

If it was as simple as the font swapping feature seen in Word, I’m sure it wouldn’t be a big deal.

Warn people the update changes fonts then, it's not like you have to force everyone to update immediately

I'd be prioritizing a quick font swap for my assets if I were those devs. Wtf.

Not a fan of generative works, but this seems like a clear place to use it to fuck shit up.

Nih.hira.term.aigen.ttf Nih.katak.term.aigen.ttf Nih.kanji1.term.aigen.ttf Nih.kanji2.term.aigen.ttf Etc

Not the fault of the prompter if the resulting fonts appear to resemble licensed fonts, which are often slightly different copies of each other anyway.

Generative works cannot be copyrighted, so it would forever be in the public domain.

The only drawback would be that you would have to announce that you used slop in your game.

Free fonts exist, so you don't even need to resort to AI.
