@LordNeckbeard the `subtitles` centers the text by default, which is good, but it still doesn't set the right-to-left mode. In HTML, you would do this with `
`. The most obvious error resulting from this bug is that the full stop at the end of sentences is put all the way to the right, instead of all the way to the left.
