Considered among the best of the SNES action-rpg genre, Secret of Mana is a Squaresoft classic. The translation was one of Ted Woosley's early works, and as such was pretty decent, but the problematic font made it hard to squeeze in all the details. Hacker FuSoYa decided what the game really needed was a Variable Width Font Edition.

A bit about the patch, and then a bunch of musings about the game and the related series. )

If you've never played Secret of Mana, you really should. If you're going to be playing on an emulator anyway, play this version, but if not, it's not a huge loss.
