Hello!  
Tell me, is it possible to change the font language in the “Scrolling text” effect? Now only English.

Language? Perhaps you mean character set. No, you can’t. ASCII only.

The data for which pixels are lit for each character at each font size are embedded in the WLED code. These are tiny embedded devices. Everything we do is a trade off between functionality and the size of the firmware.
