I've been using textsub for many, many months now, and never had a problem that wasn't directly related to my own incompetence. But now it seems as if I can't find fault with what I'm doing, so I'm at a loss for why this isn't working.

I am using textsub2.23 through virtualdub 1.4.13

Some effects still work when I type them in, for instace {\frx45} or {\alpha&hcc&} however, {\t} and {\fad} appear not to be working for me. My input line is {\fry90}{\alpha&hFF&}{\t(1,fry0\alpha&h00&)}Texthere. However, what is output on my file is "\fry0\alpha&h00&)}Texthere" as if I had forgotten the { tag or some such (I have also tried separating the fry0 and the alpha&h00& modifiers into separate \t functions but it still doesn't produce the desired result). I have successfully used both {\fad(t1,t2)} and {\t(t1,t2,a,\mod)} in the past and it's lost on me why it doesn't work now.

I have tried loading my script through textsub 2.18 and VSFilter through avs2.5x but neither produced any different results.

I have de-installed 2.23 and rebooted then reinstalled it, it has not changed the outcome.

If anyone could tell me what I'm doing wrong or suggest something to fix this I would be most grateful.

Have you try this yet?
{\fry90}{\alpha&hFF&}{\t(1,\fry0\alpha&h00&)}Texthere

ah, sorry, that was a typo in my post, yes I have used the \ after the 1, in the \t

The problems is fixed now, seems to be an error relating to styles. I took a script from one machine to another, and the recipient computer didn't have the font of the source style, so even though it displayed as Arial as is the default, the fading effects would not work with it. I have since installed the font and it works fine now.
