The Encoding field (and the \fe tag) allows to limit font selection to
only those fonts declaring support for the specified codepage in their
OS/2's table "Code Page Character Range" field.
Particularly, Encoding=0 means only font's declaring support for "ANSI",
or rather "Latin (Western European)", are allowed to be selected.
Specifying Encoding=1 allows all fonts to be considered.
We do not want to limit font selection, so specify Encoding=1.
NB: at the time of writing libass only partially supports this field,
thus hiding the issue in any libass-based renderer. A VSFilter-based
DirectShow filter or XySubFilter will reveal the issue when a font not
declaring support for latin characters is specified in a style.
Colour values used in ASS files without a "YCbCr Matrix" header set to
"None" are subject to colour mangling, due to how ASS was historically
conceived. A more in-depth description can be found in the documetation
inside libass' public ass_types.h header. The important part is, if this
header is not set to "None", the final output colours can deviate from
the literal value specified in the file. When converting from non-ASS
formats we do not want any colour shift to happen, so let's set the
appropiate header.
NB: ffmpeg's subtitle filter, does not follow libass' documentation
regarding colour mangling, thus hiding the bug. Anything based on
VSFilter, XySubFilter or e.g. mpv do and might show the issue.
(Of course native ASS subs, which _do_ rely on colour mangling won't
work properly with the subtitle filter, but this can be fixed another
time)
MicroDVD has a "hack" for specifying the video framerate the subtitle
was authored against. The demuxer reads this hint correctly, but didn't
skip it correctly.
This was not noticed, because the exported packet has its duration set
to 0, making it invisible (depending on the API user's rendering logic).

This avoids the following libass warning when using the subtitles
filter: "Neither PlayResX nor PlayResY defined. Assuming 384x288"
Subtitles tests change because the output is ASS and the PlayRes[XY]
ends up in the output.
Current MicroDVD AVPackets contain timing information and trailing line
breaks. The data is now only composed of the markup data. Doing this
consistently between text subtitles decoders allows to use different
codec for various formats. For instance, MicroDVD markup is sometimes
found in some VPlayer files. Also, generally speaking, the subtitles
text decoders have no use of these timings (and they must not use them
since it would break any user timing adjustment).
Technically, this is a major ABI break. In practice, a mismatching
lavf/lavc will now error out for MicroDVD decoding. Supporting both
formats requires unnecessary complex and fragile code.
FATE needs update because line breaks in the ASS file were "\n" (because
that's what is used in the original file). ASS format expect "\r\n" line
breaks; this commit fixes this issue. Also note that this "\r\n"
trailing need to be moved at some point from the decoders to the ASS
muxer.
