Anyway, to be clear: putting the two somewhat philosophical comments aside, the actual code/logic looks good to me.

FWIW I want to point out explicitly that this approach has another drawback (which may be minor in this case) compared to external assembly: the vectorized implementation is coupled to...

Have you configured mpv to _use_ one of those fonts? Add `"--sub-font=Font name"` to the mpv invocation. Much as you guessed, libass (the subtitle renderer) asks your system for an...
