[Question]About Japanese-prohibited-characters

[solitary-sails]

I noticed that there is a file was named as Japanese-prohibited-characters in the repository. I'm a little curious if the characters in this file are the characters you found that can't be displayed properly in the game?

@solitary-sails Yes. Outer Wilds has some missing Japanese characters even though they are used in the base game like 'ぺ'.

I have a plan to make a Japanese font fix mod as in the Chinese font fix mod.

I know that fix patch made by nice2cu1, we're in the same OICQ (A SNS like LINE) chat group. It's a little weird that "六" are already been used in Chinese translation of base game, and can be display well. I'm a little surprised that this character doesn't display correctly in the Japanese translation. So I suggest you investigate if there is some bug that let "六" can't display properly.

BTW, since some characters are both exist in Japanese and Chinese, the work of nice2cu1 is now able to fix part of the problems in the Japanese translation. I found out that "Nomaiの" in ship log about Dark Bramble was successfully restored back to "Nomaiの墓".

ok, the plan is started:

I think the Chinese font asset and the Japanese font asset is completely separated, so "六" can be displayed in only Chinese.

Thanks for answering. It is indeed possible that Chinese and Japanese use different assets. My question is over
