you need to use a different font, this problem was solved this way in Russian translation
Try the Arial font in options. If it's still too large, replace the large one with another fonts.
Actually, I've already changed the font. Of course, I didn't change it from the option. In-game fonts do not support the language of my country, so translation will not apply unless I change the font file.
I used the game by changing the name of the font file that supports the language of my country and replacing it with the font file of the jar file.
It's been going well so far without any problems, but I can't find a way to reduce the size of the letters, so I'm playing the game a little uncomfortable.
If I choose the 'Arial' font in the option, the translation doesn't apply, only the blank square letters come out.
