This can easily be fixed by changing the font used to display subtitles (--spudec-font config option). There is currently only one font shipped with vlc (font-eutopiabold36.rle) but there are scripts and instructions lying around that allows one to create new font files. I'll try to include them in the vlc source tree before the 0.5.1 release.
