The best match for me was AlternateGotNo3D, 42pt, 70% width, -25 on the tracking (except where characters came too close together), and with doubled spaces. For NTSC you'll need to change the height to 83%. Then I added a 1px black Inner Glow (50% opacity) and a 1px black Outer glow (100% opacity).


Apparently the actual typeface used for alien subtitles in every episode was ITC Franklin Gothic Demi Bold, 69pt with -30 tracking. It is at least what was definitely used for the prequels. I only have the movies on DVD so I can't check, I also can't check whether that means just Demi or if they are faux bolding the text, I presume the former.
