Some love towards video editor based text

There are a few things that can be improved for text in video edit.

• Have a way to add borders of a given color surrounding the fonts. ( just simple pixel logic based inverted glow treshold based code).
• Have an option to allign the text itself (i'm not talking the anchor of where a text can be placed, i mean how the text can be centered, left alligned or right alligned.
• Make it hookable (to animate it), by word or by letter, or by whole line.
• Have a background box with border of certain transparency, color and border-color.
• Be able to follow a path
• Add simple effects alike slide in from left/bottem/top in x frames
• Add simple effects alike typewritter new letter in x frames
• Add simple effects alike constant smooth scroll at speed x /left /right/top/bottom
• Have the text input as a multiline textbox view.
• Be able to distort perspective / rotate text boxes
• Add simple effects alike Blur text
• Have jiggle effects by font
• Have an option to set kernel spacing of a font (space optimization between characters)
• Add simple effects alike scale text X and Y axis

I know some of these can be done through mesh-fonts, though thats a lot of work and its kinda overkill to require rendering for such simple effects.
