-"[Pictures]" or "[Fonts]" part can be found in some SSA files. They contain UUE-encoded pictures/fonts, but those features are only used by Sub Station Alpha, i.e. no filter (Vobsub/Avery Lee Subtiler filter) uses them.
+A "[Fonts]" section can be found in some SSA files. It contains uuencoded fonts. Most software supports it (including VSFilter and libass), but alternative distribution methods such as MKV attachments are safer.
+The format also supports a "[Graphics]" section with uuencoded files and Picture, Sound, Movie and Command event lines in the "[Events]" section, but these features are only supported by Sub Station Alpha itself, and no standalone renderer (VSFilter, libass, Avery Lee's Subtiler filter) supports them.
