A question for those that may be hearing impaired, or otherwise use TV and movie subtitles frequently…
Do you have a favorite subtitle font? Do you have any further config preferences, like color or border?
I’m working on making a video player script UI more accessible, and I’d love some input.
i like them yellow bc it feels easier on my eyes, plus i have the sensation whatever movie is playing instantly becomes more profound.
I took to heart your suggestion of yellow, and I think you’re totally right.
This is the result with Tiresias Infofont Z Bold, 42pt,

I’m reading good things about Tiresias, which also has the benefit of being designed for people with impaired vision.
