Hi, I hope this is the correct place to put this topic, and I couldn’t find any other mentions of this through a couple of searches.
I tried the beta 5 earlier this week – and beta 6 this morning as I saw the release notes mentioning subtitle improvements.

I know anime sub styling is probably a mundane issue no one cares about, but it’s a bit annoying to me anyway and having it improved would make me happy. The file in question can be downloaded here.
