I have never tried but still i would advice you look for transcoding the subtitle in srt if i understand u well, u need time and text to show in ur personal ui label.

I use drawtext filter with automatic font size that adjust according to text length. If you have only the problem of fontsize at the time of high resolution you can try workaround using drawtext filter.  If you have time u can look in subtitle filter and check if it is possible to add fontsize option.

If it is possible can u link me how u r displaying the frames where font size is very small.(code)
