Smooth Font Mod 1.12.2/1.11.2 draws all fonts (including resource pack’s fonts) smoothly for better readability on all scales. Furthermore, you can use any font installed on your computer.
Main Features
Normally, characters are not displayed cleanly in the following situations.
However, this mod can display characters cleanly even under these situations.
- Scaling down (especially, unicode font)
- Fractional scaling (ex. x0.75, x1.25 etc)
- Oblique viewing angles
These features work by just installing this mod, basically any settings are unnecessary.
Furthermore, this mod has the following additional functions.
- Any fonts installed on your computer can be used.
- Enable the Large GUI scale in unicode font mode.
And, this mod is created as it should be effective for most texts of many other mods.
Comparison with Large GUI and x0.5 scaled characters:
Improve readability of very small text:
Text on the sign at oblique viewing angles:
Better readablility of tooltip text:
How to Use
Pressing [HOME] key opens the configuration GUI by default.
Usage of external font files
Since v1.15, external font files in specific folders can be used in addition to fonts which are installed in a system. By default, font files located at <minecraft folder>/fontfiles folder can be recognized and these fonts are listed in a font selection list of a GUI. The font folder paths are configurable in a config file. Most of TrueType, OpenType and Type1 font files can be recognized.
If you include font files in your modpacks, please pay attention to the permission and the license of the fonts.

Compatibility configuration / commands
- /sfont renderers
Print font renderer classes managed by smooth font. - /sfont precision <high | normal | vanilla> <font renderer id>
Set a font width precision mode for the specified font renderer.
It will be saved to config file simultaneously with the change.
High precision: Best quality in font width.
Normal precision: Moderate quality and better compatibility in string width calculation.
Vanilla precision: Vanilla equivalent quality and maximum compatibility in string width calculation of unicode font. - /sfont <disable | enable> <font renderer id>
Disable or enable smooth font functions temporarily for the specified font renderer.
Disabling can nearly completely bypass the smooth font functions for the target font renderer. This is temporary change and NOT saved to config file.
To make changes permanent, please add the font renderer class to “unaffectedClasses” in config file manually.
