It's possibly better than no subtitles at all.

However it doesn't support:
- oblique / italic text
- underlined text
- colored text
- mix of different styles in single lines
- text layout

All of this could be fixed by either using the freetype module or writing a new renderer based on CoreText (aka a Cocoa module instead of a CoreFoundation one).

Best regards,
