Font becomes distorted when using a custom language pack with unicode characters
When using a custom language pack which contains at least one unicode character, all text becomes distorted and tiny. Upon switching to a different, non-custom language, it returns to normal.
In the screenshots below, it looks broken when using a custom English (US), but fine when I use Spanish.

Duplicate ofMC-17673, please use the search function to see if your bug has already been submitted. Currently over 57% of tickets are being closed as duplicate.That's a different issue! That issue is about custom fonts displaying incorrectly, whereas this is about the default Minecraft font not showing up properly when using a language pack.
Ok, got it. Reopened.
Strongly related (if not duplicate) of MC-2488.
For whatever reason, mincraft switches to Unicode font when chosing a custom language.

MC-17729, please use the search function to see if your bug has already been submitted. Currently over 57% of tickets are being closed as duplicate.That's not the same issue either! This is only to do with the default font, which breaks when you use a custom language pack. (Not a default-shaped font, just default.)
I think Kumasasa is right and this is related to MC-2488, but it's not to do with using a custom font.
There was a unicode character somewhere in the language file, so all the text got rendered as unicode.
That was right! I sniffed it out and fixed it. I'll edit this report appropriately.
Reopened (again)
But resolved to the reopened and updated ticket MC-2488
Thats what happend to me.
