How can I make a non-handwriting text appearing like if someone writes it? I followed this tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y59O7wunijo
 making a text with a Grease Pencil and then converting it to Bezier curve so I can control the text appearing by tweaking Bevel factor End parameter. However I need a printed text with fonts, I thought if I create a text and then convert it to Bezier Curve it would give me the same result, but it doesn`t work, nothing changes. Is there a way to achieve it?
This is how I did it (this may not be the best solution).

Bevel factor works with non-cyclic curves. So you need to do this one character at a time. 


Create the text object of the character
convert to curve (alt + c)
uncheck cyclic (U) option in curve object data
Extrude the unconnected node to have a closing edge manually
increase depth to a non-zero value


Now you should be able to control the curve length with bevel factor.
