ManaWriter clear text & bugfix update

All right, here we go! Our first pretty major update to ManaWriter. You complained, I listened :) As always, no matter how many times you bug test or have people inspect a piece of software, issues come up when you get a large number of people downloading and trying it out. Such is the nature of the beast! One of the big complaints is the readability of the font on desktop screens (compared to laptops, etcs). So I took rewrote the font rendering routines from scratch, using a different upscale vector for the fonts versus the actual video game graphics. The result is readable, crisp font that are easy on the eyes, laid overtop a classic SNES/GBA/Master System style background. Enjoy!

On top of that, I added a volume button, so you can change the volume in ManaWriter without having to change your computer's hardware volume. This way, you can mute the music if you'd like and play your own. Another fix was an issue on some operating systems where it had problems going to window mode after going into fullscreen. This should now be working as expected!

In the future we'll have more updates. Including full screen portrait mode, NPC's and pets in your homespace, and gamification of writing that fits the SNES RPG video game theme.

So now, you wonder, how do I update? And why isn't there a projects folder in the zip anymore?

If you installed using the itch installer, and you're on Windows or Linux, it should just update and work as expected. If you downloaded the zip from the website manually, just download the latest update the same way, extract the zip archive over your installation. When it asks if you want to overwrite or rename, please chose overwrite. This should add the new updates without deleting any projects you've already worked on.

That's why the projects folder is missing. I've added another feature into this update, allowing for future updates without accidentally deleting your stuff. Now, when ManaWriter first runs, it checks for the projects directory. If there isn't one, it creates one and uses it. If there is, it uses the already existing one.

All right, good luck and good writing! If any of you have issues with the update, please feel free to let me know.
