Well my OS is a bit limited in this respect I guess.
I use the BeOS OS and I can make subtitles but I like it better
if there would be a black outline.
I did not find any option in BeOS to create such an outline.
What I did find ( and forgot where I found it :-( ) is
a white font in a black circle. Maybe that would be good too.
White on a black square is worth a try too.
