    With the DS font being so popular in ROM hacks, we decided that we wanted to have a more unique font to use in our hack. As a result, we've created the GBC Font Patch for Fire Red!

    The patch not only changes the font to a Game Boy / Gen 1 & 2 styled font, it also replaces the unused accent letters with special characters, such as type icons, item icons and miscellaneous symbols! The widths of these special characters have been changed to make them look as they should do.

    Pictured above is our modified version of the character table which lists all the characters in the game, allocated with IDs. The yellow cells indicate our new special characters.

    To use a special character:
    PKSV or XSE:
    When editing the dialogue of an NPC, you must type \hXX, replacing "XX" with the table ID of the desired character. \h01 = Electric symbol, \h02 = Grass symbol, \h23 = Poke Ball, etc.
    HMA: Typing \hXX doesn't work on HMA. Instead, you must clear the format of the text and type the table ID of the desired character where you want it to appear in the text.
