Moving Subtitles to Letterbox

[hoak]

Is it possible to move the subtitles in videos that play at an aspect ratio where there is substantial 'letter box' black screen area? In the 'Preferences' in the 'Subtitles & OSD' I tried 'Force subtitle position' -- but it did nothing with an input range of +/-50px; this was playing an MKV video, subtitles were not, how do you say 'hard-coded' to the video, but wrapped in the MKV, as I can enable/disable them...

There isn't direct option for this. But there is a workaround
