16:9 subtitles off screen on some TV's

Hi there,
I'm working on a DVD with 16:9 video. I’ve imported subtitles, framed them nicely on my 16:9 video (right on the edge of title safe, i.e. I can't move them any lower), but when I play back on a widescreen TV (or a pro 4:3 monitor) the subtitles drop off the bottom of the screen. They playback fine on computers and in the simulator.
My track display mode is set to 16:9 letterbox, and my subtitles are imported from text files (font = Arial, size = 24, centred). I've also tried setting my display mode to 16:9 pan-scan but this pushes the gfx off the side of screen so isn't an option.
Any ideas? Is there a quick fix, or do I have to re-export everything letterbox?

Yep, I've taken that into account. It actually seems as if the placement of the subtitles has moved. e.g. they are just below a persons chin when played on a computer, but on certain TV's they'll be well below that persons chin. If the TV's set to letterbox, they appear over the black bar. Is there any way to avoid this?
