Proton seems to interrupt the game’s compatibility with font modifications, though I’ve been unable to determine how or why.
To be as specific as possible, when trying to use a mod that provides the game with the font used in the DS release, it fails to load when run on a steam deck via Proton. Attempts to replicate this issue on Windows devices are unsuccessful.
So far, we’ve attempted to change where we’ve placed the font file, such as compatdata for FFIV3D, as well as even in a build of proton, to no success.
The font is question is a .ttf format, and the mod file has been attached for your convenience.
Proton Version: Any.
