Fonts Again

I'm switching away from Philosopher, because it doesn't look great at small sizes, and has some other irregularities. I've switched the main font to Fontin, which I think preserves the somewhat quirky and handmade feel, while being overall much more readable at small sizes.

Then I'm going a step further and using Fira Sans for the 12-point detail text. These two changes together mean I can show clear text at a much smaller size than before. I feel good about that.

Plenty of other progress to report as well. Ability icons, ability buttons, a combat log, a target detail card, cool character tooltips..

It still looks pretty rough I think but it's getting closer to playable.
