Game or games this happens in

none

What area of the game / PPSSPP

Happens in both the savedata manager screen as shown here:

And within the game in question when you go to select it's save specifically (Used Armored Core 3 as an example here since Dynasty Warriors doesnt show the save file screen):

I've tried various versions of PPSSPP and found that if I install the release version using pacman I'll have this issue across even the Duodecim Final Fantasy save screen info as well where the colon should be for the played time timestamp. In the version I'm currently on this does not seem to be the case and no amount of adding or removing the /flash0/font/ folder in the appropriate directory makes a difference either way.

What should happen

Based on my understanding, when I place the official font files from Sony into the '.config/ppsspp/psp/flash0/font' folder where the memory card location is noted in the app the fonts should be applied after a restart.
