Issues fixed

Text gitch in Mac OS

It is still recommended to use Japanese MacOS system, because the Mincho font（明朝体）has not been installed, although it will not affect the game, it may affect some loading.The system dialog box still does not support Japanese

Install Japanese language kits for non Japanese MacOS
Put the installation disk consistent with the current MacOS version Select CD-ROM boot, select "install Mac OS"-"custom installation and removal",check"language kits" Ensure that the Japanese language pack is installed. In some cases, you also need to copy Japanese fonts from Japanese MacOS, otherwise there will still be problems with a small number of fonts in the game.
