Re: [Bino-list] SubTitles?

Hi!

please see attached patch that implements all the GUI parts. Applies clearly 
to current git head.

Other parameters are important as well. There are almost no subtitles that has 
defined styles in header and users does not set subtitle style inside subtitle 
file. It is crucial to be able to force at least size and color in Bino. 
Therefore the patch override the ASS font, font size and font color using 
ass_set_style_overrides.
There is also an issue with font encoding. ASS does not perform encoding so I 
think we will have to do it ourselves. I know you want to avoid using Qt, so 
should we use iconv?

Bye,
Joe.
