data:text/plain

Hi,
a simple question, I hope. My "r2" text region should display in a 320 x 50 window. It looks more like 140 x 50 shoved to the left of the screen. It does not go across the entire screen, unless I use fitt=fill. I don't want that. It stretches my fonts unequally.

I've been looking high and low for a solution. Only today have I found this mailing list. Has anyone a solution? Surely this is an old bug? Is it merely a quicktime problem?

Please see:

or

I have tested both:
<region id="r2" width="100%" height="100%" fit="hidden"/>
and
<region id="r2" width="320" height="50" fit="hidden"/>

But here is the code in a nutshell.

<smil xmlns:qt="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/resources/smilextensions" qt:time-slider="true">
<?quicktime type="application/x-quicktime-media-link"?>

<head>
<layout>
<root-layout id="main" width="320" height="50" background-color="#000000"/>
<region id="r2" width="100%" height="100%" fit="hidden"/>
</layout>
</head>
<body>
<par>
<audio src="Big Yellow Taxi.mp3" id="song" />
<text region="r2" src="data:text/plain, ____ paved paradise ____ put ____ ____ parking lot." begin="id(song)(0:10)"/>
<text region="r2" src="data:text/plain, With ____ pink hotel, ____ boutique, ____ ____ swinging hot spot." begin="id(song)(0:15)"/>
