Without rescaling, remapping will improve things only minimally.
In containers like MKV this is solved by storing the original video size as dimensions of the subtitle stream, and we should do that.
For formats where this information can't be stored it might make sense to just refuse muxing if the subtitle dimensions do not match any of the video streams.
