The VSE Text Effect can support change Font

The Text Effect in VSE is so simple, even can't change Font, very hope can support change font like the Text object in the 3d view : D

Done. Font change has been implemented.

also an option to turn it into a frame / timecode counter would be nice.

Did this ever go anywhere? I mostly use Blender for video editing, and I curse the absence feature every time I try to do anything with text...

Not having the ability to have proper titles in Blender is actually what's stopping me (and perhaps many others) to using Blender's VSE for video editing. I certainly hope some VSE improvements will be coming to 2.8

I'm guessing 3pointedit deleted his comment because it wasn't actually added to Blender ? I didn't find anything in the latest daily build nor in the 2.8 branch.

No neither could I but I swear I recall seeing it... hmm.

Oops silly me, I just realised that it may have been hacked from the Animation Nodes addon. Sorry for noise

While you're add it, would be super cool if you could use markup or some other method of more complex font formatting (e.g. how I'm able to use bold and italics in the same text block here)

Maybe I forget it, this just one image for my idea, and you know in the MS office or others software, can setting the bold, italics by directly,,,,,.... I thought here also :P

This would be a much more helpful proposal if you included an image mock-up that shows where you think these text controls would show in Blender's interface.
