Font commands
Using the font commands, you can set the typeface and some formatting for the entire script and for individual subtitles. If you import a script that does not contain font commands into DVDit Pro, the imported subtitles use the Text settings that you last specified in DVDit Pro’s Edit Subtitles window.
Each font command must be inserted on its own line before the subtitle strings to which it applies. The following font commands are supported:
$FontName = [name of a font face] sets the typeface.
$FontSize = [number] sets the text size in points.
$Bold = TRUE/FALSE turns bold on or off.
$Italic = TRUE/FALSE turns italic on or off.
$Underlined = TRUE/FALSE turns underlining on or off.
For example:
$FontName = Arial $FontSize = 16 $Bold = FALSE $Italic = FALSE $Underlined = FALSE 1 00:02:17:12 00:02:23:21 This text is 16-pt Arial $Bold = TRUE 2 00:02:27:02 00:02:35:18 And this is 16-pt Arial, Bold $Bold = FALSE $FontSize = 20 3 00:03:12:14 00:03:22:10 Back to plain Arial, but 20-pt . .
The following text formatting cannot be controlled in the subtitle script and must be set in DVDit Pro:
Text alignment
All caps on/off
Outline
Text color
