## Extra fonts
You can add fonts by installing fonts mod. Be aware that each font comes with numerous textures. This can result in slowing media downloading and/or client display.

* [Metro](https://github.com/pyrollo/display_modpack/tree/master/font_metro): A multipurpose font with many chars (uppercase, lowercase and accentuated latin letters, usual signs, cyrillic and greek letters).
* [OldWizard](https://github.com/pyrollo/font_oldwizard): An old style gothic font.
