 === V1/V2 charset format ===
-The V1 and V2 font format is identical to that found in V3 games; the big difference is that in V1 and V2, the font is not stored in the game data files, but rather is hardcoded into the executable. All characters are 8x8 pixels big.
+The V1 and V2 font format is identical to that found in V3 games; the big difference is that in V1 and V2, the font is not stored in the game data files, but rather is hardcoded into the executable.
 Therefore, ScummVM has to include fonts for the various versions of the two affected games (Maniac Mansion and Zak McKracken). The fonts differ depending on the localization of the game.
 Currently, ScummVM includes fonts for english, french, german, italian and spanish game variants. It is not known whether there were other localizations, but if you encounter any make sure to tell the team about it!
+Another minor difference compared to the V3 format is that all characters are exactly 8x8 pixels big. Thus the font is always monospaced, unlike V3 fonts.
