That's what I mentioned other movies for. They're content to use smaller
fonts, to break lines according to concepts as they occur in the native
language. Heck, even the /Star Trek/ movies did just fine in that
regard. "Captain Klaa, we have a target in sight. A probe of ancient
origin." One subtitle. No problems whatsoever, and no one ever
complained, as they do with /Discovery,/ that the subtitles go by too
fast or that the Klingon is too slow.

If you put all of a very long sentence on the screen, you’ll
have to use a smaller font to squeeze it all in and still be
