TheHutt, yes, there are some extensions to SRT that allow lots of interesting options, specifying fonts and so on, but only if the player supports it. But part of the reason I chose SRT way back when as opposed to ASS or some other subtitling format with very unambiguous support for formatting was because early on I wanted to separate content and formatting – like with HTML and CSS. SRT was the HTML, and the Perl (now Python) scripts were the CSS. And, as the first few pages of this thread will attest, I truly had no idea anyone would actually want to use the SRT files when SUP files were also available. If I thought people would use the text subtitles, I may have gone down a different road from the beginning, and there wouldn’t be SRT files to begin with. But probably not 😉
