As for the impression that I actually used, the appearance of the font changes greatly if it is an alphabet, but in the case of Japanese it hardly changes, and although the font color can be changed, only some prepared colors can be used. Or, I can't add a border to the characters, so I feel like I can't reach the slightly itchy place. In addition, although the background can be filled, one of the dissatisfaction points is that the characters will move onto the background and the appearance will be considerably deteriorated if it is written in Japanese. Also, I felt that if I could add a free sound source when converting to a short, I could improve the quality as a short.
