Oh, sorry.  I didn't read your original post carefully enough.  Vobsub
is a bitmap-based format - not text.  I am not sure how to do what you
are trying to do with these.  Although, I have found that there are not
very many linux tools; you'd probably have better luck looking into
using windows-based subtitle editors under wine.  Maybe one of the many
programs listed here: http://www.doom9.org/software.htm can help you.
