The built-in subtitle filter (documentation here) can only do halos, not drop shadows. You could however use it twice, once with a black text colur, then the second instance in white text and shifted up/left a pixel or two.
And I thought this would be an easy task... ;) Excuse me if my questions sounding stupid here but I'm a complete amateur when it comes to Avisynth. I simply cannot understand how you fine adjust the positions of the subtitles in frame, it seems there's only x and y values for left, center, right and top, baseline and bottom, not small pixel adjustments. Do you have to change the horizontal or vertical size of the frame in the script somehow to make that happen? I have the same problem with this specific line of dialogue:

I can't get it to align in the center of the frame, only the second bottom line. It must be possible, right?
Well, this was more complicated than I thought ;) maybe I'll just use your old script and drop in TradeGothic...
