The KareKano glitch is strongly believed to be caused by a bug in Scenarist that causes it to write corrupt data when subtitle pictures change less than 5 or so frames apart. They worked around it in later volumes (and in the re-do of volume 1) by eliminating subtitle changes that short.
Some players were able to read through the corrupt data (most notably, most Pioneer models) while others died upon hitting it - cycling through the subtitle tracks usually fixed this, but the easiest solution was to leave the sign subtitles off. |

While the constant font changing was awkward, I wasn't so much focusing on the that, rather I was focusing on the selection of fonts and certain overlooked things such as font shadowing and letter spacing. |

Would this be considered acceptable?
For my Puss in Boots fansub, since it is an old movie and not very high-tech, I decided to keep it simple on the typesets. The dialogue in in regular white Arial (48) with the song lyrics in italicised yellow Arial (36)(Japanese lyrics on top, English on the bottom). At first I didn't think much about this, as this is how many old VHS fansubs looked like, but now I've started dl'ing more and more on animesuki, and a lot of the fansubs use wacky cool fonts, and sometimes really cool typesetting effects (like karioke and such). However, I still think simple is best on this sort of a project, and I really don't want to bother a typesetter. Do you all think this is ok?

Yes. I prefer simple myself; I like to be able to read them without straining my eyes or distracting too much from the show itself. Sometimes something in keeping with the setting is nice but it's not on my list of most important points. At the end of the day it is a matter of taste so I say go with what you like. I think there are a few older threads on the subject -- might want to have dig around see if anything catches your eye.
Edit: Looks like NoSanninWa found one of the threads I was thinking of... Last edited by NightWish; 2004-05-31 at 16:37. |
