Odd MetaDoom Language Crash

[Kinsie]

I've only been able to witness this in my own mod, so I'm not sure if it's my fault or an engine bug. Regardless, here it goes.

REPRODUCTION STEPS:

• Load The Ultimate Doom with MetaDoom loaded.
• Go to E1M4.
• Set your language to something other than English
• Open the secret to your left, and step inside.
• Watch as a Very Fatal Error is triggered for some reason.

Another modder suggests that adding a replacement SECRETMESSAGE string to my mod's LANGUAGE lump fixes the crash, which is curious...

EDIT: Apparently also effects other center-print messages?

GZDoom doesn't crash for me with the current master. Although, it doesn't output secret message text correctly in some languages. For example, only exclamation mark is printed in Russian.
This seems to be caused by a font substitution. I'm not sure how this suppose to work to be honest. Certainly, it shouldn't crash, so there is no workaround needed on mod's side.

Hmm, I tested using the latest DRDTeam devbuild and still got the crash.

If it's some fuckup with the current custom font I'm using (basically a smallfont with capitalization) than I guess I'll have to figure out some way around that.

Regardless of crash, missing characters need to be fixed engine side. Especially, if this leads to a crash.

The crash is caused by the redundant and pointless redefinition of SMALLFONT in the FONTDEFS lump. This very efficiently kills the default font needed for localization and skips important parts of default font initialization. Remove that part and everything will work again.

Thanks, I figured I messed up in some way. Fixed my side as well.
