It is also possible to instruct Godot to use alternate versions of

The resource remapping system isn't supported for DynamicFonts. To use
55+
different fonts depending on the language's script, use the DynamicFont
56+
fallback system instead, which lets you define as many fallback fonts as you
57+
want.

The upside of the DynamicFont fallback system is that it works regardless of
60+
the current language, making it ideal for things like multiplayer chat where
61+
the text language may not match the client's language.
