Hi there, so here I am trying to make japanese text into my game. I do not want a surface gui, I already tried that and it didnt look to good, I tried using blender and I got like some weird glitch, I tried using a 3d text plugin on roblox but that also came out weirdly.
ANd I do know that thi is possible as I have seen chinese and japanese text in games before.
Any help would be appreciated.
Blender is a good start for 3D concepts and not too sure why you get a glitch, however I can’t affirm that there is a glitch/bug with that stuff since I don’t use it.
(https://swww.roblox.com/library/2273628561/ThreeDText-2) wouldn’t work for special characters that’s not ABC’s because it’s a preset library of pre-made characters thats trying to recreate the input string.
Where in a SurfaceGui, it takes what property you put in and displays the string.
I couldn’t find anything related to 3d Japanese text like font packs or plugins but I hope you can figure out how-to with these videos on YouTube:

If this is your last resort, it is possible as I did it before a while ago. Inkscape (https://inkscape.org/) is a powerful design tool dealing with paths, file formats, etc. I am pretty sure you can include Japense font into Inkscape then downloading it as it’s an more open powerful design tool then Roblox’s.

Lastly, Google Translate is the best option if InkScape doesn’t allow direct language changes. https://translate.google.com/#view=home&op=translate&sl=en&tl=zh-TW&text=Hi%20there
I was looking at preferences and some github stuff and it turns out blender only supports western texts but hopefully they add full text tool in 2.9
Hello! I’m happy to be able to share this. I wish it could help!
Open your Vector Graphics Editor. In my case, I used Adobe Illustrator (Great for logo design).
Enter your text. You can see that I typed “Yuan” using a Chinese keyboard.
Go to Object > Expand then select OK. This makes your text into a shape that will allow us to manipulate our text in Blender!
Save the file as .SVG. This is the file type you’ll need to import it to Blender
Open Blender. Go to File > Import > Scalable Vector Graphics (.svg). You will see your text character inside Blender.
In Object Mode, go to Object > Convert to > Mesh from Curve/Meta/Surf/Text .
Now, you can go to Edit Mode and extrude the faces of the mesh.
