Judging by the EoD clip, the '97SE ROTJ subtitles were actually in the same font as the original '83 version. It's not a pre-SE clip because in that doc, the non-SE clips are softer and have noticeable jaggies.

Those clips are from the original '83 version. And if for some reason they aren't, they must have kept the original ones for the Special Edition as I recall their timings and placements were identical when I compared them.

Why update the font for the first film in '97 but not the last? I guess everything is possible when it comes to Lucasfilm.

When Return of the Pug is finished and released, we'll finally be able to compare the two (or at least, the lines which show up in EoD).

That is something that can be done already, there are two theatrical bootlegs out there. I did this myself way back when creating the subtitles for dark_jedi's V3 DVD.
