Even though I upgraded our licenses back the last time there was a 'no

because of the bug in the subtitle filter/generator in newer versions 
that chokes on UTF8/Japanese. Is that a Mac only problem?

I vaguely remember something. What was the bug again?

I know for sure that an ALE has problems with UTF-8 and Hebrew, it has to be in Windows-1255, perhaps something like that applies here too? (If the coder uses the same routine to parse the text…)
That would be an easy conversion. (Once we've figured out what charset to use…)
I'm happy to toy around here, if you have an example file for me. (And an image on how it 'should' look like, I'm not that fluent in Japanese.)

Has that bug been fixed yet? I'd download the trial and see, but don't 
have a machine running the OS the new versions of MC need... we're stuck 
in the past of OSX 10.7.

Any info appreciated. (Except recommending another subtitling software. 

I take it that was aimed at me :-)
But since you already have 'something' that generates the TXT files, isn't STL an option then?
(Granted, STL has problems of it's own…)

Or, I'm pretty sure SubCap is a simple plugin. Can't you use the Subcap effect from a version that does not have this bug?
(But probably has another bug, I hate SubCap)
This would involve a little hacking though...
I must admit, I have no idea where it could be located on your system.
Only Mac version I have is 8.4.1, and I can't locate any subcap plugin in there, although it does appear as effect…
(I've searched the .app's contents, but it's not clearly visible there, but perhaps Avid techs can help you here.)
