I have used MKVTOVOB to hard subtitle in to another format. However I have not been able to find anyway to retain the font type (size, color, format) when the subtitle is burned. Is there any other tool that allows me to burn the subtitles with font format that is in attachments? I am even willing to buy stand alone MKV enabled media players but they also do not retain font types.
Thanks

What's the original format of the subs? Are they PGS subs? idx/sub? or a text stream muxed in?

The text is usually in ASS format and the attachments are application/x-trutype-font

If your app will let you use an .avs script check out this page:

Quite a few video tools will either let you input a script or have places where you can specify a filter and it will insert it for you.
I use TextSub() when burning in .srt subs, but for my purposes the default setting is fine. Some tools have a preview window for checking the sub appearance before you kick off the job.http://milesaheadsoftware.org/

Milesahead; As you indicated there are number of tools that allow burning the subs and allow you to select the font type. However I wanted the tool to directly utilize the embedded fonts attachment that are with MKV. Usually there are several attachments in MKV resulting in a specific look for the subtitle.
I finally found a took that can do this: TmpGenc Xpress 4.0. The only drawback is it only outputs 2 channel audio. -
If the original audio track is fine as is, then demux it from the .mkv and mux it into the dvd. For demux from .mkv you can use MkvExtractGui and for muxing into the DVD you can use AviDemux or one of the dedicated muxing tools you can find in the lists here.
For simple mux the old TMPEnc free version has "mpg tools" in the File menu. You can demux an .mpg to .m2v and audio track, then just mux in the .m2v and .ac3 or whatever audio. I know it will do .ac3. Not sure about .dts formats. I don't think dts was around when that tool was written. But for .ac3 it's very easy to use, provided you don't have to adjust delays or any of that. It simply puts the streams together to get an mpg.
Other than converting from .dts to .ac3 that's all I do with audio. If you need something more exotic then check out the audio tools in the lists here.http://milesaheadsoftware.org/
