Interesting topic guys. TradeGothic seems not as bold as the font should be. I'm going to have a look at this...
If you're able to find a closer match, I'm first in line. The one they originally used were probably never digitized, the fonts that do get digitized are also often slightly different in their appearences to their older siblings.

...but first let me give you an avisynth function that will make the drop shadow (you can't use -1 for horizontal sadly)....
Function DropSub(clip input, string caption, int posX, int posY, int fStart, int fEnd)
{input
#Currently set for anamorphic PAL...
f = "TradeGothic LT Bold"
f_siz = 44
f_wid = 10.5
f_lin = 25
f_spc = -2
f_col = $FFFFFF
subtitle (caption,posX+2,posY+2,fStart,fEnd,f,f_siz,$000000,$7F000000,7,f_spc,f_lin,f_wid)
subtitle (caption,posX+1,posY+1,fStart,fEnd,f,f_siz,$000000,$00000000,7,f_spc,f_lin,f_wid)
subtitle (caption,posX, posY, fStart,fEnd,f,f_siz,f_col,$FF000000, 7,f_spc,f_lin,f_wid)
#The following line can be used view the subtitle centred...
#subtitle (caption,-1,200,fStart,fEnd,f,f_siz,f_col,$FF000000,8,f_spc,25,f_wid)
return(last)
}
Then you just call it like this...
DropSub("Going somewhere, Solo?", 240,374,70663,70698)
Yeah, that looks a little smoother than my page-long scripts. ;)
