Both BE and HC are displaying ASS subtitles differently from XYSubfilter. Could you look into what's going on with them?
Also I'd like to know how/why BE/HC have different shadowing on the subtitles, I tried changing the what I thought were respective settings, but there was no change.
I do prefer less shadowing, so if you could let me know what needs to be changed or even change the defaults (do Be and HC have it correct?) that'd be grand.
I think consistent results should be seen ideally between all three subtitle renderers.
