Plugin.cs:937 only pushed RegularFont when Config.FontsEnabled was true.
FontsAndColours.cs:50 forces FontsEnabled=false whenever UseHellionFont is
enabled (to hide the chooser UI), so the bundled-font path was silently
dead and the FFXIV Axis game-font took over. Exo 2 looked "almost right"
because it overlaps Axis on basic Latin, so the regression went unnoticed
for the entire v1.5.x series.
The fix routes RegularFont through draw whenever either FontsEnabled or
UseHellionFont is on. First-frame HITCH dropped from ~74 ms to ~20 ms
median (5-reload Linux/Wine sample 17.9-23.6 ms) as a side effect — the
v1.5.1 "too optimistic" defer-pattern hypothesis was actually a symptom
of this bug, not bad math.
Font-stack overhaul on top:
- Inter Light (Static 18pt-Light, 343 KB, SIL OFL 1.1) replaces Exo 2 as
the bundled font. Inter ships full Latin Extended-A/B, Greek polytonic
and Cyrillic Supplement coverage.
- NotoSansCjkRegular added as a third merge layer for Hangul,
Simplified-Chinese-specific Han glyphs, and CJK fallbacks the FFXIV
Japanese font does not ship.
- Two new ExtraGlyphRanges flags (LatinExtended, Greek) implemented via
AddChar pair lists in SetUpRanges.
- Settings.Apply auto-activates the matching ExtraGlyphRanges flag on
language change. Plugin.LoadAsync runs a one-shot migration that ORs
in the required flag for an already-selected language.
- ExtraGlyphRanges CollapsingHeader reachable regardless of
UseHellionFont (was hidden in the early-return branch).
- New WarningText below the language combo: FFXIV's chat engine only
fully supports EN/DE/FR/JA. Other scripts render in the HellionChat
UI but may garble in in-game chat input/send.
Localisation wave (originally a FR-only cycle):
- 24 selectable UI languages. LanguageOverride enum gains 10 new locales
plus 3 previously commented-out (Italian, Korean, Norwegian with ISO
code `nb` instead of `no`). All new values append to keep existing
user-config integer serialisation stable.
- Resource bundle split: HellionStrings.resx (24 locales, 328 keys) for
fork-added strings, Language.resx (24 locales, 456 keys) for the
ChatTwo-Crowdin-heritage. 4 post-sync Crowdin keys backfilled into
13 legacy locales with per-key AI-assisted comment marker.
- Em-dash sweep on EN source plus 18 translations. Russian and Ukrainian
keep their typographic norm.
Old HellionFont.ttf + HellionFont-OFL.txt removed; Inter-Light.ttf +
Inter-OFL.txt take their place. Configuration field UseHellionFont keeps
its name for backwards-compat. Migration v17 stays.

"Changelog": "**v1.5.3 — Localisation Wave + Bundled-Font Overhaul (2026-05-19)**\n\nMulti-language pass plus a long-standing first-frame HITCH lands\nas a side effect of a font-stack rewrite.\n\nUser-visible:\n\n- 24 selectable UI languages (was 2). Catalan, Czech, Danish,\n Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hungarian,\n Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norsk bokmål, Polish, Portuguese\n (BR + PT), Romanian, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish,\n Ukrainian, Simplified + Traditional Chinese. Sorted by endonym,\n \"None\" pinned first. Non-native locales are AI-assisted and\n flagged for native-speaker review via the Forge Discord.\n- Bundled Inter Light replaces Exo 2 (SIL OFL 1.1, 343 KB). The\n Inter font ships Latin Extended-A/B, Greek polytonic and\n Cyrillic Supplement coverage; NotoSansCjkRegular joins as a\n third merge layer for Hangul and Simplified-Han glyphs the\n FFXIV Japanese game font does not ship.\n- First-frame HITCH dropped from ~74 ms (v1.5.2 baseline that\n held since v1.4.x) to a median of ~20 ms (5-reload sample\n 17.9-23.6 ms, Linux/Wine). The bundled-font path silently\n fell back to the FFXIV Axis font for the entire v1.5.x series\n because of an early-return in the draw loop. The fix that\n routes RegularFont through draw also lands the defer-pattern\n win the v1.5.1 cycle was reaching for.\n- ExtraGlyphRanges auto-activates on language change. Korean,\n ChineseFull and the two new flags (LatinExtended, Greek) toggle\n on without a manual visit to Fonts and Colours.\n- New WarningText under the language dropdown notes FFXIV's\n chat input only fully supports EN/DE/FR/JA character sets.\n Other languages render in HellionChat but may garble when\n typed into in-game chat.\n\nUnder the hood:\n\n- Three-layer font stack: Inter Light primary, FFXIV\n JapaneseFont merge 1 for kana/kanji style, NotoSansCjkRegular\n merge 2 for everything else CJK.\n- LanguageOverride enum gains ten locales plus three previously\n commented out (Italian, Korean, Norwegian as `nb`). New\n values append to the enum so existing config integers stay\n stable across update.\n- Crowdin gap closed: four post-sync ChatTwo keys backfilled\n into 13 legacy locales with per-key AI markers.\n- Plugin.LoadAsync runs a one-shot migration that ORs in the\n matching ExtraGlyphRanges flag for users already on a\n non-default language. Settings.Apply auto-activates on\n change going forward.\n- Em-dash sweep across the EN source and 18 translations to the\n house style. Russian and Ukrainian keep the typographic norm.\n\nMigration v17 stays. UseHellionFont users transition from Exo 2\nto Inter Light transparently on first reload.\n\nBased on Chat 2 1.35.3 (upstream Infiziert90/ChatTwo, EUPL-1.2).\n\n---\n\n**v1.5.2 — First-Run Wizard Rework (2026-05-18)**\n\nUX patch. The first-run wizard becomes a four-step flow with a\nnew Roleplay privacy profile and a power-settings step that\nsurfaces previously-hidden defaults. Existing v1.5.1 users see\nthe new wizard once on first v1.5.2 boot.\n\nWhat changes user-visible:\n\n- Wizard navigation: Welcome → Privacy profile → Power settings\n → Done. Forge-Bronze pagination dots, dedicated stage for the\n power settings so they are no longer buried in Settings.\n- Fourth privacy profile \"Roleplay\": Privacy-First plus Say and\n both emote types, with a 30-day window for Say and a 90-day\n window for emotes. Shout, Yell and Novice Network stay out.\n- Privacy picker becomes a 2x2 grid. Casual stays the\n recommended option with a ★ marker.\n- Power-settings step covers Load Previous Session, Filter\n Include Previous Sessions, Auto-Tell-Tabs History Preload,\n Compact Density, Prettier Timestamps and a built-in theme\n picker. All six map to existing Configuration fields — no new\n settings introduced.\n- Staged commit: the wizard only writes to Config on the Finish\n step. Decide-later or X-close at any point leaves the existing\n config untouched.\n- Inline test hint on the done step: \"type /tell <Player Name>\n into chat\" surfaces the auto-tell-tab spawn mechanism.\n- Window starts at 720x480 (was 900x560) and can shrink to\n 600x400; Step 1 keeps the fox banner in a folded TreeNode so\n the onboarding copy stays primary.\n- Existing users get the new wizard surfaced once on first boot\n after the update via the new WizardLastShownVersion config\n field. Future cycles bump the constant only when the wizard\n itself changes shape.\n\nUnder the hood:\n\n- WizardStateSmokeStep added to /xlperf alongside the FontManager\n and ThemeSwitch self-tests.\n- Twelve new pure-helper xUnit Facts in the Build Suite cover\n all four privacy profile sets and their retention overrides.\n\nMigration v17 stays (no schema bump). The Configuration grows\none optional string field (WizardLastShownVersion) which\ndefaults to empty for legacy users.\n\nBased on Chat 2 1.35.3 (upstream Infiziert90/ChatTwo, EUPL-1.2).\n\n---\n\n**v1.5.1 — FontAtlas Refactor and Hellion Forge Signature (2026-05-17)**\n\nHybrid FontManager refactor plus an embedded provenance mark.\n\nWhat changes under the hood:\n\n- FontManager handle creation moves into the ctor inside a single\n atlas.SuppressAutoRebuild() block. The font atlas now builds once\n per plugin load instead of four to five times — less CPU and GPU\n pressure in the first seconds after a reload, less atlas texture\n memory churn.\n- Hybrid property model: Axis, AxisItalic and FontAwesome become\n init-only handles. RegularFont and ItalicFont stay mutable because\n the eight font settings still need to replace them at runtime —\n that path is funnelled through RebuildDelegateFonts() now and\n runs without a plugin reload.\n- FontAwesome reuses Dalamud's UiBuilder.IconFontFixedWidthHandle\n instead of building its own atlas slot. One delegate-build step\n less in the ctor.\n- BuildFontsAsync and BuildFonts are removed; the live mutation\n path is RebuildDelegateFonts() now.\n- Two FontManager self-test steps registered with /xlperf: ctor\n smoke (every handle non-null after Phase-1 resolve, no atlas\n load-exception) and push smoke (Push() returns without throwing).\n\nHonorific full-gradient port (originally the v1.5.1 main item) was\ndropped: Honorific 3.2 exposes no IPC for the rendered gradient\nframe, and an in-plugin port of the colour palette was declined.\nThe integration stays at the v1.4.7 glow-only shape.\n\nUser-visible:\n\n- Hellion Forge signature: a small fox-head ASCII silhouette is\n emitted to /xllog on every plugin load, and a full fox banner\n with \"Hellion Forge\" set inside the body is available as a\n folded TreeNode in the First-Run Wizard and Settings ->\n Information tab. Drawn by Julia Moon, embedded in the plugin DLL.\n- No settings changes, no migration. v17 stays.\n\nNote on performance: the cross-plugin baseline target from v1.5.0\n(matching Lightless and XIVInstantMessenger at ~7 ms HITCH) did\nnot land this cycle. HITCH stays around 80 ms because the cost is\nin the UiBuilder first-frame render path, not in the atlas build\n(which this cycle did reduce from 4-5 builds per load to 1). A\nfirst-frame render investigation is reserved for a later cycle.\n\nBased on Chat 2 1.35.3 (upstream Infiziert90/ChatTwo, EUPL-1.2).\n\n---\n\n**v1.5.0 — DI Foundation and Service Refactor (2026-05-17)**\n\nMajor architecture cycle. The plugin bootstrap moves to a\ngeneric-host DI container (Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting +\nIServiceCollection) modelled on Lightless Sync. Service logging\nmoves from a static Plugin.LogProxy locator to typed\nMicrosoft.Extensions.Logging.ILogger<T> via constructor injection,\nbridged over Dalamud's IPluginLog by a custom DalamudLogger trio.\n\nWhat changes under the hood:\n\n- 18 instance-class services migrate to ILogger<T> via constructor\n injection across four slices: data layer (MessageStore,\n MessageManager, AutoTellTabsService), IPC and integrations\n (HonorificService, IpcManager, TypingIpc, ExtraChat, the three\n GameFunctions classes), UI window layer (ChatLogWindow,\n DbViewer, Popout, three settings tabs), and root (Commands,\n ThemeRegistry, PayloadHandler).\n- Plugin.LogProxy stays in place for the eight buckets ctor\n injection cannot reach: static helpers (EmoteCache,\n AutoTranslate, MemoryUtil, WrapperUtil), Dalamud-reflected\n types (Configuration), the Message data class, and instance\n classes that only log from static methods (FontManager, one\n GameFunctions site).\n- Plugin.cs finishes at 1012 lines — virtually identical to the\n pre-cycle 1013. The new Phase-1 host build and Plugin.X bridge\n wiring trade out exactly the service and window allocations\n that previously lived in LoadAsync.\n- Cross-plugin baseline confirms no performance penalty against\n Chat 2: HellionChat first-frame HITCH 77 ms median, Chat 2\n 74 ms median. Lightless and XIVInstantMessenger sit around\n 7 ms by deferring their font-atlas build past Finished\n loading — that pattern is the v1.5.1 follow-up.\n\nUser-visible:\n\n- Slash-command insert fix: pasting a slash command into the\n chat input (Friend List \"/tell\" action, plugin-driven inserts\n from Artisan, AllaganTools etc.) now replaces the existing\n input instead of concatenating. Cherry-picked from ChatTwo\n upstream ee7768ac with namespace adaptation.\n\nMigration v17 stays (no schema bump).\n\nBased on Chat 2 1.35.3 (upstream Infiziert90/ChatTwo, EUPL-1.2).\n\n---\n\nFull history: https://gitea.hellion-forge.cloud/JonKazama-Hellion/HellionChat/releases",
