A crappy subtitle renderer I wrote for avisynth. Watch any of my recent normal/hi10/512 encodes (of older consoles); that's what it looks like. http://www.mediafire.com/?h6fc11dc1w8g1mp
It uses bitmap fonts, that are being put over the video without any resizing. If you specify subsize above one, they are upscaled by neares neighbour by that factor. Halo size is set separately and looks better when is twice bigger than the text size. I started using this function as it is awesome for both SD and HD, so no need for this slow ng_bighalo, because you just resize by 8 for HD. Pack of fonts (with the preview program) can be obtained from my Encoding Package. The plugin and readme are included. http://code.google.com/p/feos-tas/downloads/detail?name=TASEncodingPackage.7z Here is how it is used in code:
Language: avisynth

LoadCPlugin("./programs/freesub.dll") fontfile = "./fonts/helvB10.bdf" subsize = 1 halosize = 2 FreeSub( \ game + "\n" + ( \ (branch == "") ? "" : branch + "\n" \ ) + "Played by " + author + "\nPlaying time: " + \ time + "\nRerecord count: " + rerecords, y=(ypos * factor), \ font=fontfile, halo_width=(halosize * factor), halo_height=(halosize * factor), \ align=position, first_frame=subff, last_frame=(subff + sublength), \ size=(subsize * factor), text_color=$00FFFFFF, halo_color=$00000000, lsp=2 \ )
My font and natt's font accordingly. This is after ARC.

You forgot the plugin.

It is in the "programs" folder. That's what I forgot to say.

I tied this together with new improved bighalo. updated: http://pastebin.com/hiBwTHrK

Could you post a snapshot? I'm bad at testing others' scripts. Also I stopped using bitmap fonts for HD (haven't uploaded anything after that yet).

This halo draws faster since I'm only using some of the points of the circle rather than the whole thing. (click for full size)
Language: avisynth

import("C:\mf\NGcode\lib\NGcode.avs") blankclip(1,256*8,8*224,color=$0000ffff) ng_sub

But you don't need bighalo for freesub, since its halo is already adjustable (I use 2).

The goal with the new command is to pick the font based on the dimensions. So it automatically uses freesub with SD and bighalo with HD. Bigger halos? Do you like the drop shadow?

Automated the size choice:
Language: avisynth

subFont = "helvR" subSize = (last.width <= 240) ? 8 : 10 subFontFile = "./fonts/" + subFont + String(subSize) + ".bdf"
and
Language: avisynth

hd ? ng_bighalo( \ subString1, x=(subXpos * factor), y=(subYos * factor), \ align=subAlign, first_frame=subFF, last_frame=(subFF + subLength), \ size=(subSize * factor), text_color=$00FFFFFF, halo_color=$00000000, lsp=2 \ ) : FreeSub( \ subString1, x=(subXpos * factor), y=(subYos * factor), \ font=subFontFile, halo_width=(subHaloSize * factor), halo_height=(subHaloSize * factor), \ align=subAlign, first_frame=subFF, last_frame=(subFF + subLength), \ size=factor, text_color=$00FFFFFF, halo_color=$00000000, lsp=2 \ )

You can replace bighalo with this one http://pastebin.com/hpufrFFT I've only looked at 256x224 and 8 times that, so I don't have anything working for a more general case.
