DIALOGUE/TEXT EFFECTS

[uncanny]

i dont have the full version of MV and i am fairly new to this community, so please bear with me if i make any obvious mistakes on behalf of my knowledge of the software. thank you!
i would like to be able to customize dialogue in MV, but have no idea how, and i can't find any comprehensive or up-to-date lists or tutorials for newbies. i would like to know if i can:

- change the size of text
- change the color of text (i do know it's possible, but i can't find any lists or charts of the colors available and what codes they correspond to)
- change the font
- add symbols (i.e, music notes, stars, hearts, and possibly Zodiac signs)
- animate the text (make it flash different colors, move, or shake)

if anyone could help me out with these in laymans terms, and possibly provide links to lists or forum posts that would help me with this it would be much appreciated!

- change the size of text

Yes

- change the color of text

Yes

- change the font

Only with plugins

- add symbols (i.e, music notes, stars, hearts, and possibly Zodiac signs)

Yes, Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V

- animate the text (make it flash different colors, move, or shake)

Not without javascript knowledge

Open the Show text command andhover your mouse over the text input area. A help will show shortly, showing you the tags you can use and what they do. Or in MV open Help (f1) and look for Event commands - messages.
