If I can add one more thing:

At the moment I am not too unhappy with the current setup,
but I have noticed that when watching a show in HD the subtitles
end up in a narrow area on the screen with plenty of room
on the sides. I presume it is because they are formatted
for the "normal" resolution where you need two lines to
display the whole text.

So the question is:

- Would it be (or is it already?) possible to wrap
  two lines of text into one if it fits on the screen?

Using 0.26 at the moment but considering upgrading.

Best
