Ancient Text Translator

Description
Can't read the Ancient Alphabet when people put it into the chat box without minutes of staring at the codex then back at the chatbox and back and forth? This mod is simple and will make it so you can read it!

This is not compatible with anything that changes the default Starbound font. This file changes the ancient language letters (U+E001 - U+E024) so that they are readable and still distinguishable as the Ancient Alphabet.

It does not. There is another mod for that.

But does it change the ancient text written on the walls?

I'm actually working on finding that star so i can add it to the text file. Haven't found it yet strangely.

Do note that using this on the latest version of Starbound will force you to sacrifice that cute little star symbol that weapons upgraded at the ancient weapon upgrade anvil get, replacing it with a yellow square instead. But if you can live with that, this mod is for you!

First you want to download a program called AutoHotkey from https://autohotkey.com
Once this is done, download the following folder: https://www.dropbox.com/s/4cenvh02gsopgnt/of%20the%20ancient%20tongue.zip?dl=0
Inside is an edited version of the hobo font used by Starbound (the same font file used in this mod), and an autohotkey script for typing the language out.
When run, the script will automatically be on and you probably notice you can't do anything. Turn the script off by pressing F12. Then when you want to type out in the Ancient Language, press F12 again and ONLY TYPE IN LOWER CASE. If you don't notice letters with permanent underlines, or Ancient itself, you're not typing in it.

If you could explain in detail how to do this I'd appreciate
