Hello guys and gals, I come here to ask for better text fonts for russian language.
Literally every other language in the game that is currently supported has better font. Or rather, fonts, because there are at least two of them that are used depending on what window is open. Russian has only one, which leads to issues in overall look. Currently the only existing font is pixel font, which looks horrible, and absolutely not fitting a game like Stardew Valley when used everywhere - it's way too sharp and pixelated, like the texts were typed on a 80's typewriter! I haven't looked into the game files (not sure if that's even allowed), but I'm pretty sure the pixel font is used EVERYWHERE in russian. Lemme show you.
Here's comparison between english, japanese, and russian languages - even japanese (which has a lot more characters!) looks better, despite also mostly using pixel font!
Sadly I can only squeeze 9 pictures per post. I would give you comparisons to other languages, but you can check it yourself - every other language has a second, "thicker" and more "natural" font, but not russian.
Also chinese language has its own custom game title art... But I guess that's because of their policies lol
Dear ConcernedApe, I'm very willing to make a better font by myself, just for your game, for free. I'm ready to sign an NDA contract if it's required, or any other kind of a contract. All I care about is to enhance a part of your IP, for the benefit of other russian-speaking players.

Pretty, pixelated, pixelated&rough
Pretty, pixelated, super pixelated, you can see each separate pixel, what the...
English: Clearly visible two different fonts, one for the name, one for the date
Japanese: Two different fonts again. A unique one for romaji, which looks GORGEOUS, and the second font for kanji, which don't look pixelated and instead look amazing
Russian: Pixels everywhere... nuff said...
