# Validate an ItemsAdder font image in chat and a menu title

A font image may work in chat but fail in a menu title because the consumer handles text differently. Compare the same glyph through two controlled display paths.

## Check the installed content

ItemsAdder content uses namespaced identifiers for items and other assets. A definition, its generated resource pack and the copy downloaded by a player are different checkpoints. Keep content IDs stable and consult the documentation matching your ItemsAdder and Minecraft releases.

## Work through the change

1. Record the font-image ID and its texture path. Confirm the generated pack includes the font definition and image before editing the chat or menu plugin.
2. Use the installed-release font-image reference to select its supported text notation. Test a simple message with that notation and a client using the current pack.
3. Put the same image into a staging menu title that supports the documented integration. Keep the title short and remove other formatting while checking the image.
4. Compare alignment, size and permissions between the two displays with an ordinary account. Test a second client before changing global font spacing.

## Verify the result

The same intended image should appear in both supported display contexts, with no raw placeholder or missing-character box. A correctly rendered glyph can still need a separate title-spacing adjustment.

## If the result differs

If chat works but the menu does not, verify that the menu plugin supports the required placeholder or font format. If both fail, inspect pack generation and font-image identity before changing permissions.

## Keep a recovery path

Restore the original title and font entry if the test makes other text unreadable. Keep the previous pack available, because changing shared font metrics can affect several interfaces even when only one title prompted the change.
