Alternative Asian fonts?

Hello! First of all, thank you so much for making such a great tool to make moving, emotional games. I've been really enjoying using it as a way to make little creative works.

I was wondering if anyone knows of an alternate Asian font. The reason is that the default one tends to overlap if there is too much text on a line, and by "too much" I mean more than a few words at most. Is there any way to get the text to drop to the next line, if that makes sense? Right now, writing something in Japanese looks like this:

I read that bitsy can use custom fonts but they need to be in the bitsyfont format, which I don't really know much about. Is there a way to convert a Japanese font into a bitsyfont? If so, how should I go about doing that? Sorry for so many questions, I just really want to bug some of my Japanese friends into making bitsy games with me, ahaha.
