Problem also appears on Windows. Also on Arial font. Almost all fonts.

Agreed, this is problematic, not just in terms of functionality for editors but also accessibility for viewers. Please prioritize, Adobe team.

Problem still present, more visible if the font is in italic. Premiere should really fix this, that's a heavy bug for a professional software - everyone uses subtitles!
In the meantime, the "solution" is to use fonts close to Arial, like Franklin Gothic Book. Or use a shadow on the subtitle.
Stil: it 3 more hours of work today because of this to find a solution, i'm getting tired of those multiples bugs.

Well thats not solving the problem, thats a workaround. This should really be fixed by adobe, It's useless now. maybe the new title system anounced in the latest version finally works as it should, but haven't had the chance to check that.

hi guys, I have solved this problem. I installed the EZtitles plug-in for premiere. You can visit their website and contact them to ask how to buy the software since they didn't sell it anymore. But first you need to export the close caption in Adobe premiere into separated SRT file

Please anyone? any news. it's driving me crazy. I really like the captions interface in adobe. only the edge bleeding for years now. Unusable! Why is it taking that long?

@Luca Papinutti don't expect a fix anytime soon. My solution, much like yours, is just to export the .srt from Premiere and work on the captions in Resolve.

Any news? Since years we are forced to export the .srt from Premiere, render in another software a video with alpha then re-import the rendered file in Premiere to burn the subs. TV networks sent us back programs subtitled in Premiere all the times, I always have to remeber collaborators to don't burn subtitles with Premiere.

Please fix this, it continues to be a problem also with commonly used fonts and relatively minor edges...

EASY WORKAROUND: change the FONT! Premiere uses Helvetica as a default, if you want same looking typeface you can choose Helvetica Neue font - at least found on my system. Also Adobe Caslon Pro works and many others.
