Font rendered in incorrectly

[PlumpOrange]

I've been working on some modifications for the game and wanted to have it load in my own provided font by default. I did this by just providing my own ascii.png in the font folder under textures. However, when I do this with any font I convert and load in, it comes up all "scrapped" up, Its like it loads it, but with a lot of artifacts, which are non-existent in the png. I have tested this a lot and haven't found the cause. Tried putting the font in a resource pack still with no prevail.

When Loaded:

Any ideas?

I think what's happening here is your font is of a pretty high resolution and minecraft's textures by default have a linear interpolation on the minimization filter so when shrunk parts of the texture become transcluent. By default it looks like FontRenderer doesn't enable blend when rendering so alpha test takes care of the alpha values and the default value of the function set in place simply discards any texels with too low of an alpha value.

What you can do is provide a custom implementation of FontRenderer that changes the alpha test function to a desireable one and enables blend before drawing.

I managed to figure out that it was in fact the render cutting it off, I will be trying your recommendation in a while to see of it fixes the issue.
