Sutitles not displaying properly
by Colin McQuillan on Apr 27, 2008 at 2:22:10 am

I've added a subtitle .stl file to a video track, even though in my prefernces I have sub's set to display as helvetica 18pt, all the subs display as courier 9pt. Way too small?!? .

I've tried hi-lighting the text files then hitting apply in the subtitle prefernces, they don't change. I don't know what else to do..

Any one know how to fix this?!? I cant burn this with sub's at 9pt courier... no one could ever read them...

Remove any font, size, color, contrast and fade-in commands from STL file, leaving only time code and text entries. Import this modified file into DVD SP. If your subtitles now appear as defined in preferences your original STL file has information incompatible with your system fonts. For example if STL file lists HelveticaNeue, but your sistem contains Helvetica Neue it will not be imported properly.

Ah ha!

I did figure out I could open the file in Text Edit. In there I found a couple lines dictating font type and size.

I changed them within the file to what I wanted, But very good to know I can blast this info away.
