Suggestion for fourth font usage for large texts.
Especially briefing texts and the new Saga fiction viewer content is harder to read with the Freespace specific fonts which use small capital letters for lower case.

Exchanging that font doesn't help though, since that font is also used for the HUD and other things, which look bad then.

My suggestion would be to add a fourth font file, font04.vf, which the game loads and uses for briefing texts (usually those are the only long ones and fiction viewer uses the same font functionality) and falls back to font01.vf if font04.vf isn't present to retain retail and backwards compatibility, while font01.vf remains the font for HUD and all other cases as usual.

This would give mods more flexibility on how long texts are displayed without having to chang the rest of the interface with it.
