Font Style Switch / Restore
Legacy font overlays and standard-font restore overlays for MH3U only, separated by DDS and KTX, for the current Restoration Runtime Package.
Option install: Copy the matching DDS or KTX font overlay over the current Restoration Runtime Package and overwrite when asked. Font overlays are not standalone and require the current package. The standard font is already included in the package; the standard restore overlay is provided only so users can switch back after using another font style.

UPDATE HISTORY
Version history
Only the current Restoration Runtime Package is offered as the full release. Runtime Updates are temporary direct update paths for existing package installations and are replaced when a newer package becomes current. Older entries remain as context only and are not supported setup states.
v1.2.1.1Current package
Main Changes
Title disclaimer renewed with the “NGRP by RACCU” wordmark.
Minor texture corrections.
Restoration Runtime Options added for selectable font-style overlays.
Standard font uses BIZ_UDPGothic and is already included in the current package; separate DDS/KTX restore overlays allow users to switch back after using another font style.
Legacy font overlays use BIZ_UDPMincho as a serif-style alternative, separated by DDS and KTX package format. It is intentionally called “Legacy” because it is not the original historical font, but a related typeface direction from the same font family/vendor context.
v1.2.1 Hotfix r2Maintenance
Main Changes
Old Turn Bloom OFF cheat replaced with a safer PostFX/Bloom method.
Users should replace the old cheat file completely, avoid mixing old and new Bloom OFF codes, fully restart Azahar, and avoid old savestates after replacing cheats.
MEOW updated to fix inaccurate weapon-stat transfer cases.
MH3G JP v1.2.1 HotfixJP cheat fix
Main Changes
Charm Table Unfix / Force Table cheats for MH3G JP fixed after the v1.2.1 JP cheat used the wrong code-cave address.

MH3U EU and MH3U US were not affected.
MEOW Maintenance BridgeSave transfer

Many textures have been corrected.
New fonts have been added through the MogaPress pipeline.
KTX v1.2.1 was rebuilt from scratch after earlier KTX issues.

Pre-release developmentContext only
Development Context
Early HD UI work covered German, English, Spanish, and French UI passes.
Hunter Name HD began as a separate workaround before the later proper replacement path was restored.
Normal-map, material-mask, alpha, and gloss workflows were developed across monsters, weapons, armor, maps, and UI.
Day/night texture separation, hashsplitting, performance packaging, and MogaPress font-pipeline work formed the technical basis for later Raccu/NGRP releases.
These older states are not offered as downloads and are not supported setup states.
