	I would like to clarify the parameter UseLatinFont. When set to true, the dialog strings and list elements use global sprite fonts, specifically font_bold.xnb and font_colored.xnb (from the LooseSprites folder). If the language has characters that are not present in these fonts, then when set to true, it is necessary to modify these files (font_bold.xnb and font_colored.xnb) by adding the required ~~characters—probably~~ it will require increasing the texture height and finding the proper place of the character space. For example, if 'e' is ASCII 15, then when the game is trying to draw that character, it will pull from whatever is at tile index 15 (counting from the top left space being 0, going from left to right). Otherwise, when set to false, these files are not used, and a custom font in .fnt format is used for dialogs and menu elements.		I would like to clarify the parameter UseLatinFont.
