Does anybody else have issues with some subtitles (from dvd rips),
being really difficult to read?
I started watching 'Jean de Florette', with English titles turned on,
but gave up until I figured out how to fix this issue.
The titles are large enough and appear in the correct part of the
screen, but they look really odd. They're grey, with a thin white
edging. With no antialiasing, this looks awful.
The same mkv file played with VLC is *much* more pleasing with solid
white titles that are easier to follow.
Before I open a ticket and attach a sample, I thought I'd check to see
if it was a known issue.

DVD subtitles are image-based subtitles. It's likely a problem with either
bad mastering of the DVD or the scaling of the images and/or overlaying them
on the video that's making them bad.
In other words, since they're not text-based, it's not a font problem we can
fix.
It is possible that there is some kind of color palette/transparency issue
in the code, but you should definitely try playing back that DVD with
another DVD player to see if it's just as bad there.
