The Unicode font is hard to read from a bit of distance

The bug

The Unicode font is very thin and unreadable.
Examples:

Gui scale small.
Signs from 2-3 blocks distance.
Scaling chat lower then 60 % (gui scale normal).

The Default Font for Everything, v0.0 for Minecraft 1.8.4 (DF4E.zip) by kapos fixes this issue.
