Description
Expected behavior of the wanted feature
Would like to copy the look of VobSub style would come in DVDs for nostalgia purposes. Since sub-border-size="" renders with anti-alias, it's not currently possible to copy the pixelated look of it:
Alternative behavior of the wanted feature
Short of finding a font which somehow renders its insides pixelated in purpose, I can't think of an alternative solution for live rendering of the style.

Research direction
Start by tracing the subtitle rendering path for the sub-border-size option and review the related issue #2820. Determine how anti-aliasing and border shapes are currently handled; done means subtitles can reproduce a pixelated VobSub-like appearance with square borders.
