I'm not really sure I'm the right one to answer this but here's what I know for what it's worth.
The EX version is a fully loaded animation software package already.
That SHOULD be all you need to do basic animation.
I have the Pro version currently (The EX version is an upgrade....about $150 on top) which allows me to make a 3 second, 24 frame animation w/out sound.
I've experimented with it to see if it is something I can do (It is) see if it's easy to use (it is) and see if I would consider upgrading as a result (I am)
It's a low cost, highly functional solution. I would recommend it fully aware that there may be better more robust solutions out there.

It's very difficult to create a custom Font and Krita isn't the best option to do it.
Try with a Vector software like Adobe Illustrator (or Affinity Designer) to design symbols and letters.
Or for something less professional but easier to use, there's Microsoft Font Maker. Anyway Krita is not the best option.

Hi! As far as I know it is not possible creating font sets in Krita. This is a complex task and an specific software is needed. You can use the well-know (and paid) Fontographer or the free and open source FontForge. Best regards.
