Where can I find PSP original font that supports full Unicode and can be used in emu?

Re: PSP fonts
Since the things you're requesting information about are actually several separate issues (three as far as I can tell), I'll break them down one by one:

We can't give you a direct link to the original PSP fonts used in the actual games, because they're copyrighted. I could give you some further info on how to grab them from your PSP or a PSP-emu hacked Vita, though.

Quote: It appears to support a lot of languages, but my primary concerns are that 1) it does not support simplified Chinese characters, and 2) it does not support Korean hangul single characters, making using the system Korean keyboard pretty much impossible, as every key displays as a Unicode placeholder diamond-question mark.

The on-screen keyboard displayed in PPSSPP doesn't use fonts from the assets/flash0 folder; instead, it uses a font baked/hard-coded into the emulator, which lacks support currently for a number of Korean and Chinese characters (it's relatively easy to update the baked in font, but it requires recompiling the emulator's source code too). Hopefully we'll change it so that it uses system fonts at some point once the OSK gets a redesign.

Quote:For that matter, will any TTF format font work in PPSSPP? Do I just have to stick it in the assets folder, or what?

For PPSSPP's general UI (with the blue/gold background), yeah, you can use whatever font you want. You can accomplish it in either of two ways (the second method only applies to Windows currently, I think, I'd have to check the source code):
  1. In the assets folder, replace Roboto-Condensed.ttf with whatever TTF file you like.
  2. In the lang folder, open up the ini file for whatever language you're using (e.g. en_US for english), and under [DesktopUI], add or uncomment the Font line, and change it to the name of a font on your system, without the TTF extension, and without the period that would separate it (e.g. Trebuchet MS).
