That worked well! I used Verdana though, and had to resize as well, as the 
default was too big

I tried like this, but got no subs at all:
mencoder in.avi -subfont-text-scale 3 -vf expand=0:0:0:0:1 -o out.avi -ovc 
lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vhq:vbitrate=800:vpass=1 -oac copy && mencoder 
in.avi -subfont-text-scale 3 -vf expand=0:0:0:0:1 -o out.avi -ovc lavc 
-lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vhq:vbitrate=800:vpass=2 -oac copy

no choice. got a HW player (Philips DVP 720SA) and they have even bigger 
problems with Greek codepages :-) 
Besides DVD subs .avi only with .srt is possible, but only West-Europe, and 
even they seem to have problems according to other users.
