I suppose this leads me onto another question then: Is it the timer's responsibility or the editor's on whether a sub is onscreen suitably long enough to be read comfortably?
In my view (bearing in mind that I'm both), I think it is solely the editor's responsibility to juggle the line to make it short enough to fit the Japanese audio. I find that timing is more standardized (albeit by each individual timer) and extending the lead-out to make something more easily read in time seems an odd idea to me (unless it's an extremely short one-word sub, that amounts to less than 0.5 of a second with usual lead-in and lead-out added).
Thoughts?
