I have not played with Subtitle Workshop, but I do know Sub Station Alpha has different fonts to select.

If it's a .ssa subtitle script, you can easily change fonts (and colors) with ant text editor like Notepad:

Format: Name, Fontname, Fontsize, PrimaryColour, SecondaryColour, TertiaryColour, BackColour, Bold, Italic, BorderStyle, Outline, Shadow, Alignment, MarginL, MarginR, MarginV, AlphaLevel, Encoding

Style: MainB,Arial,14,65535,65280,65535,0,0,-1,1,2,4,1,16,16,16,0,0

This line sets the font for style MainB to Arial 14 pt
In the script, you'll use it like:

Dialogue: Marked=0,0:00:00.00,0:00:05.00,MainB,,0000,0000,0000,!Effect,This text will appear in Arial 14 pt

I believe it's Settings\Settings...\Look\Program

<but I havn't used this. I save to srt then use srt2sup for IfoEdit.>

I just started to use this program ... and I find it really easy to do timings.

However, I'm it seems to have a few quirks (not suprising given it saves so many types). I couldn't get Maestro subs to work, but I didn't try very hard. They seem to be marked as PAL. I'm NTSC.
