    Try this.
    Create a .style file in the folder with the video and the subs.
    You will have 3 files with the same name - different extensions.
    i.e.
    my great video.mp4
    my great video.srt
    my great video.srt.style

    The content of the .style file should be:
    Code:
    [V4 Styles] 
    Format:    Name, Fontname, Fontsize, PrimaryColour, SecondaryColour, TertiaryColour, BackColour, Bold,Italic, BorderStyle, Outline, Shadow,Alignment, MarginL, MarginR, MarginV, AlphaLevel Encoding 
    Style: Default, Arial, 20, &H00FFFFFF, &H000000FF, &H00000000, &H00000000, 0, 0, 1, 2, 2, 2, 10, 10, 10, 0, 1
    In this instance the font is shown as Arial, with a font size of 20; adjust to suit.
    Load the video up in VirtualDub and use the filter textsub, as you have been doing. See if the .style file changes the font.

    As has been said by many people, .srt files are not for anything but the most basic use.
    Subject to what your playing the video with and what your viewing the video on your results may be horrible.

    Cheers.

  3. TextSub doesn't expose font settings for .srt files. It just renders them with its default style. The easy fix is to convert the .srt to .ass first: open it in Subtitle Edit or Aegisub, go to the Styles manager, set the font and size you want (and outline/shadow if you like), then save as .ass and load that in TextSub instead. The .ass file carries the style with it, so VirtualDub2 will render it exactly as you set it. In Aegisub, remember to set the script resolution (File > Properties) to match your video, otherwise the size will look off.
