With a recent version of ffmpeg (requires the subtitles to be in a separate file, due to current libavfilter limitations):
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -filter:v subtitles=subtitle.srt -c:a copy -c:v libx264 -crf 22 -preset veryfast output.mp4
If your SRT subtitles are muxed into an MKV container, you can extract them like this:
ffmpeg -i input.mkv -map 0:s:0 ...

Subtitling is a horrible horrible thing, and there are loads of regulations and standards and other bull which can be found here.
As for the font, it really depends on your opinion - if I'm not mistaken Trebuchet Sans and Deja Vu Sans are as close as you can get to the standard DVD fonts.

You can assist this analysis by providing a script file to it by adding either an Adobe Story Script file or a TXT file to the Reference Script option. I don't have any experience with how ...

I have use Xilisoft Video Converter Ultimate to render hardcoded subs in a video file.
The name from the video and the subs must be the same.

m3u playlists only contains links to the media itself that you're playing.
It doesn't actually consider the srt file at all. If the software used to play back the m3u file support srt files it will look in the same folder for the same file as the video only with the extension switched to srt.

Will refer to Premiere Pro as PP and After Effects as AE from here on:
Here is a solution which requires AE that I think works but can't test it because my demo of PP and AE has finished. Luckily for you, they have trials for many products including AE which you can download from their site. I contacted a friend of mine who works as a video editor about ...

Tips on subtitles.
1) make it clear, be sure the font color is not washed out by the background for instance don't put light lettering on a light background. In a word "contrast". Some title programs will have a shadow or outline to assist when the title is over a mixed light and dark area.
Choose an easily readable font. Consider why highway signs have ...
