RPG-styled dialogues [how to?]

Hi!
I was trying to create RPG-styled dialogue class, like here:
Easiest solution I was thinking about:
But for some reason non-english characters rendering is extremely slow, textfield is blinking when we use simple "setText" method:

gproj with replicated issue:

(I've tested both Font.new, TTFont.new, and different system fonts;
with Core.asyncCall and with Timers
in both desktop&mobile players, and in exported apk)
I've already asked about RPG-styled dialogues before, @antix had another solution, using Rendertarget.
But this method doesn't work for non-english characters.
I'm thinking about covering text with Pixel, then gradually decrease Pixel's width from left to right so characters will be gradually uncovered.
How would you solve it?

local function sayPhrase(textfield_ID, phrase) for i=1, #phrase do textfield_ID:setText(string.sub(phrase,1,i)) Core.yield(0.06) end end Core.asyncCall(sayPhrase, eng_textfield, "Hi there! My name is Alice!") |

Just replaced word 'string.sub' with 'utf8.sub', it works perfectly!
Thx!
