it would for sure be prepackaged for this exact reason.hmm i definitely think you should prepackage some font to set as default, because otherwise idk how equal the checksum leaderboards would be if the hitboxes are differentoh i also learned about virtual resolution / setCanvas so the game can be resized.
one thing that's weird about this is that i'm literally printing glyphs as game objects. i want this because it'd be funny for the player to be able to pick their e-reading font. but it means that, well, my "sprites" are letters. that is limiting in some ways...

……in fact a lot of my "small scale" ideas for games look a lot like this in my head, though more with like, procedurally drawn vector-style graphics rather than text glyphs.
do it
