Hi Attila,

The Windows world is using the great DVobSub DirectShow Filter to view 
SSA/ASS. Its opensource and here, dont know if its C or C++ sorry :

While you're at it, implement USF also by using his code, we are getting 
closer to have USF in MKV working. http://usf.corecodec.org, only some 
minor spec changes are to be expected ... ;) ...
