    Hi, I'm trying to convert .srt subtitles to .ssa. I've edited them in Subtitle Creator, and some of the lines have only a few words italic and the rest regular. When I opened the subtitles in Subtitle Workshop it showed the whole lines as italic.
    I was wondering if there is a way to make only a part of the line italic in Subtitle Workshop.

    I've also tried converting the subtitles to .ssa first and then editing the italic parts in Sub Station Alpha. But since my subtitles are in croatian, Sub Station Alpha doesn't show the non-english letters correctly.

    So, if you know a way to make only a part of the line italic in Subtitle Workshop, or you know how to make croatian characters show correctly, or you know a different way to convert .srt subtitles to .ssa while maintaining the original formatting please help


    Thanks

    In this case, open your .srt/.ssa in Notepad or Wordpad,
    then save as Unicode-text. Don't forget to set the "Encoding" flag
    of your .ssa files to "1" and the "codepage" flag of DirectVobSub to "DEFAULT".
    HTH.

    Thanks, this works, but only for Aegisub and not for Sub Station Alpha.

    But, I've found an even simpler method. I use the Open subtitles with charset... option in Aegisub, and set the charset as local, I use the same option when exporting to .ssa
