I can't see how it would make any difference. The only other possibility is that your editor is adding some strange characters somewhere. I run Slackware with Freerock Gnome on all my machines, with ALL the video and audio dependencies for transcoding built by hand. BTW, Aegisub r1006 can be usd pretty effectively for timing and styling, but not for previewing... Still, being able to style rapidly and certainly has been very nice ;^)
