Possible Expert Render Option?

I use subtitles and usually watch TV shows and movies in 16:9 ratio. I set the styled subtitle font size to 1.1. When I watch a really wide screen movie in like 2.35:1 ratio, the 1.1 size setting is a bit too small. I manually change it to 1.4 before these movies, but I was wondering if there is an expert option I can put in that says:

If picture ratio is greater than 16:9, then set styled subtitle font size to 1.4

I have no idea how to effectively use that section. Sorry.

And thanks in advance.

have you tried:
-subfont-text-scale 3

So something like
(width/height > 2) :: -subfont-text-scale 2

Not sure 2 is a good value.. but the syntax should be ok.

Thanks for the suggestions, but none of that worked. I'm trying to change the mencoder_ass_scale value in the UMS.conf file or something equivalent.
