[edit] [purge] Template documentation

Adds common text to the "Problems" portion of GameCube titles that have problems with Dolphin's modified font. See {{Problems}} for other shared problem statements.

Usage

{{Problems/GC Font}}

Example

Improper GameCube Font

Due to copyright concerns Dolphin is unable to include official GameCube fonts, and instead uses "Droid Sans". Unfortunately Droid Sans does not align well with the size/kerning of the offical GameCube font, which can cause text to be misplaced, dialogs to display improperly, and other issues due to augmented text sizes. This can be corrected by using an extracted GameCube BIOS (i.e. "IPL.bin", which can be extracted using GCOS), or extracting fonts from a GameCube BIOS and replacing Dolphin\Sys\GC\font_ansi.bin and Dolphin\Sys\GC\font_sjis.bin.
