The two fonts currently used by Jetpaca are nonfree as per https://github.com/KOBUGE-Games/jetpaca/blob/master/README.md#fonts

We should find replacements for the first open source release.

For the reference, in #4 (comment) @punto- said that he saw those two fonts:

  • ArmWrestler.ttf
  • BPdiet.otf

With a closer look I don't see what ArmWrestler.ttf would apply too in current Jetpaca, but that might have been the invalid and unused font_big.xres.

BPdiet does look like our "TAP TO FLY" and "WORLD 1" texts:

There are small differences but the BPdiet website says that the font was updated in 2018, which might explain them.

The HUD and in-game texts seemed to use the Aller Bold font from what I can find with image search.

I'm about to replace it with Mozilla's Fira Sans Bold, which looks quite similar (not so much for numbers though):

If we find Bold too bold, we could also go with Fira Sans SemiBold.

Replace nonfree Aller Bold font with Fira Bold
6810cf2 
It seems to me that the font used so far for HUD and in-game texts
was Aller Bold, which is proprietary: https://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/aller

I've replaced it by Fira Sans, which looks quite similar and is
distributed under the terms of the SIL Open Font License 1.0.

Part of #11.

Also fixes issues with the old BitMapFont being corrupted by recent
Godot - it's safer to just keep the TTF and use DynamicFont.

Note that I'm removing the reference to the ArmWrestler font from
the README. I don't see where it would be in use currently.

Are there still fonts to be replaced or can this be closed ?

"WORLD 1" and "TAP TO FLY" images are still derived from a nonfree font.

Not sure about the Jetpaca logo itself, but it looks like it might have been drawn by one of the Jetpaca artists.
