Change the font size of .srt subtitle files

[rocknrolla115]

What is the easiest way to change the font size in a .srt file used in conjunction with MKV files?
I usually play them on my projector and in most cases they look way too big. What software can you recommend to decrease the font size?

You change it in the player or in the subtitle filter like vsfilter.

Ok, i forgot to mention that i don't play the files from a computer but instead from a standalone blu-ray player (Oppo 93) so there is no way to make this change in the player.

THen it's not possible.

You could convert them to image subtitles like sub/idx or maybe ssa/ass text subtitles if your player supports it.

Ok, i think the player supports sub files also. What program would you recommend for this task? I have Subtitle workshop, will this work?

[Baldrick]

Nope, it wont work. Maybe subtitle creator. But I guess the image sub/idx will probably look like crap...and huge...
