The Snow Queen
Chikatetsu:
Hi there everyone, another Snow Queen-viewer here. I really enjoy the show, thanks for subbing it L-E!
I've got a remark on the subtitles. I often find it difficult to read them, due to a lack of contrast and the used font, which seems harder to read than a sans-serif font. When sitting in front of my computermonitor the contrast is not really a problem but I always watch it on my television, sitting farther away from the screen than when I'm at the computer, and then a lot of times the subtitles are really hard to distuingish.
I've included a screenshot. "Have" is easily read, but the rest really takes a lot more effort.
I wonder if I'm the only one that has this problem. It would be great if the subtitles would be yellow, and a sans-serif font would help too. I've never had trouble reading subtitles on other anime.
Thanks for your time,
Chikatetsu.

First of all Live-eviL's fansubs are designed for playback on the PC. Whilst there are ways and means of converting/playing back subs on the TV we neither support or specifically design the subs for TV playback.
Whilst I could try increasing the outline(border) of the font when I typeset the next ep the styling for the show is already established and as such I won't be making major changes to the choices of dialogue fonts / colours 6 episodes in to the show.
Thirdly some people actually disagree with you and have told us not to change the font.

How are you converting it for viewing on your television? TV/Out Port, DVD, MPEG2 Conversion, AVI compatible dvd player, Etc?
I usually throw my fan subs to dvd and watch them on the tv as well because although I have a large monitor to watch them on at home I don't when I am traveling with my laptop. I have found that by using the video out port on the laptop I get good results on any tv but then I have to use the laptop. I have used several programs for putting the fansubs on dvd's and some of them I did notice the contrast issue. I normally use WinDVD Creator now for that stuff and it does a pretty good job and I haven't had any problems with contrast or not being able to read the sub's with that program like I have with some others.

That's okay, normally everything I view on my TV-screen (from computer via s-video out, dragon300zx) just looks okay, as if I were playing a DVD. It's only the subs of Snow Queen that I've been having trouble with.

Yeah, I understand that. Anyway, thanks for your reply, I'll go get ep 6 now!
O, and I'll try adjusting my TV's settings if I experience troubles reading the subs again.
KHS:
I haven't even finished downloading it yet, but I wanted to come in here and say thanks for episode 6, keep up the good work! Already this is one of my favorite shows.
