set sub-ass-override "force" on specific fonts

[v-amorim]

Is it possible to specify which font/ass style to force override with sub-ass-override "force"?

For example, I only want the bottom subtitle to be forced, not the chart names

Normal ↔ Forced

Just learned this, using yes instead of forced and just overriding the font achieve at least something better:

sub-ass-override=yes
sub-font="Arial" # For some reason without this, it uses the default/file_defined font
sub-ass-style-overrides=FontName="Arial"

Also saw about sub-ass-styles="~~\template.ass", but I'm guessing the ass style naming in the template would have to match the names on each video's ass names.

There's no way to do this until something like libass/libass#570 is merged. If you know the name of the styles you want to modify then just use sub-ass-style-overrides=StyleName.FontName="Arial"

Fair, at least I learned the about sub-ass-style-overrides and it works better than forcing, thank you!

Related to what I found out, do you know why the sub-font is required when using sub-ass-style-overrides=FontName?

Does it apply to any other parameter I include?
