I know what I'm doing is, essentially pointless, but I'm just picky when archiving stuff. Anyways, I just re-downloaded Code Geass R1 at 1080p from OZC and for some reason, they don't like to style the subs. I want to use the same style subs as THORA with their 720p release. I know there is a way to have some kinda or script do it for me or w/e, but I'm not really sure how I would google that. I'm really looking at 小小 and/or hadouken here, but I'm sure someone knows how to do this.
If I understand you correctly, you'll need something like Aegisub to style the subs and mkvtoolnix to demux/remux the final .ass subtitle file. This is not particularly easy and is quite time consuming though, but it is possible if you put some effort in. The basic principle is to obtain the subtitle file that THORA used, so either you somehow find the .ass file or you download one or all their episodes and demux (extract) the .ass subtitle from them. You then open the subtitles you extracted, copy the font styles that THORA used and paste them into OZC's version within Aegisub and then apply the styles to the relevant lines. Alternatively, you could just use THORA's subs and put them into OZC's files, you may have to retime them, but that's another possibility. Either way, as mentioned previously, it'll still be very time consuming.
I know it's going to be time consuming, hence I wanted a script. I'll look into Aegissub, totally forgot about that. EDIT: I'm not home to test this atm, but would it be possible to just extract the font from THORA's release then remux that font file with OZC's?
Yes you can do that, however you'll still need to apply a font style to the lines of dialogue as the subtitles haven't been told what font to use. I'm no scripting wizard, so I can't help you on that front (assuming it's even possible to script).
Technically, they have been told which font to use, like ariel or or w.e, I'd assume if I replaced the font with THORA's but still named it as Ariel it would work...Hmm. I'll test this later in the week and report back.
Hmm true, that could possibly work. I'm not sure if it reads the font file name or the actual font name embedded inside the font (which I don't think you can easily change), but give it a go
