SVCD With Selectable Subtitles

I"m using the latest spumux from dvdauthor tarball (0.6.10) to put subtitles from textsubtitles (MicroDVD .sub to be specific) onto a SVCD.

Spumux makes wonderful looking subtitles

I've added the .xml I used as an attachement. The commandline I used looks like this:

spumux -m svcd -P sampleclip.xml < sampleclip.mpg > subbedclip.mpg

<subpictures>
    <stream>
        <textsub filename="sampleclip.sub" characterset="ISO8859-1"
            fontsize="24.0" font="verdana.ttf" horizontal-alignment="default"
            vertical-alignment="bottom" left-margin="5" right-margin="5"
            top-margin="5" bottom-margin="75" subtitle-fps="25"
            movie-fps="25" movie-width="720" movie-height="576"
        />
    </stream>
</subpictures>

However, there"s a small problem. Some of the subtitles that appear, the border and filling of the text are completely black!

Is there a way to force spumux to use certain subtitle colors when using a textsubtitle (.sub,.srt and others), or maybe an other way to solve this problem?
