A step towards internationalization

This update adds international support to the font and to chat (through IME). Now you should be able to see the names of our Japanese friends who have been playing quite a bit of Splody recently! This also opens the possibility of doing localization in a future update. Do you want to see Splody in your language? Contact me via info@dashingstrike.com if you would be interested in helping with the translation of Splody - there's not much text at all, mostly just the menus, so it wouldn't be much work. There have been a few other little features and fixes since the last major update, here are the interesting ones:

Major Features and Fixes

Font support for most international (European and Asian) characters
Add IME support for entering these characters into chat/edit boxes
Update to new Discord invite link (https://discord.gg/dashingstrike)
Restored support for Windows XP
Fixed opening https links on Linux
Fixed copy/paste from chat

Note: The international font requires a GPU supporting 8K textures (common in GPUs made from 2006), so may not be available on particularly low-end systems. If this is actually a problem for anyone, let me know, we can find a workaround. Hope you have a blast!
