Manual installation

Place both files together in:

MixedCaseMapMarkers.dll
MixedCaseNorseLowercase-Regular.ttf

Uninstallation

Delete the MixedCaseMapMarkers folder from BepInEx/plugins. No save cleanup is required.

How it works

Valheim stores the capitalization of marker names, but its original map typeface renders lowercase code points with uppercase-looking glyphs. The mod keeps Valheim's own marker font for uppercase letters, numbers, punctuation, and styling, while routing supported lowercase characters to an original custom font created from the bundled TTF at runtime.
