I had seen this problem, the font letters became italic, the TF's did not alter the status, and several other things, but I did not think it was the mod, it really is annoying
The change of sources is that this is a bug, which can be easily corrected so I do not give much importance. but it is not the same with the TF's that if they are seen in a certain way they are the heart of the game.
to me for example I liked the buff of intelligence that I obtained for the gem of the Kyubi, or the speed buff that gives me the fruit that transforms me into cat, not to mention the flower of the dragons that increase all my status.
And now all that tells me that it is not necessary? That's like they take the salt out of the popcorn and tell me it's the same, no, it definitely loses its flavor.
Fortunately though TF's have lost their ability to modify status limits, some still have Skills, but not all have that advantage, a very clear example is fox berry and canine pepper, before there was a marked difference between these 2 TF's, but now the difference is just cosmetic, something that many dislike (that includes me of course)
