Any claims of “anti-aliasing” in the DVD-Video format is a bit of an exaggeration, compared to what one expects of anti-aliasing of text or vectors in other computer graphics applications. In DVD-Video, subtitles exist in a 2 bit graphical overlay. With only 2 bits, there’s not a lot of anti-aliasing that can be done. You basically get color and opacity plus overall transparency in this graphical layer.
You’ll never see anti-aliasing like you would from anti-aliased text in Photoshop, After Effects, or Premiere.
Can you post a screenshot of how your subtitles look? I could tell you whether they looked worse than normal, and perhaps make some corrective recommendations from there.

Glad to help. Most times that is the problem.

I forget which key it is…
Try holding down shift or Ctrl/Cmd (Win/Mac) while you drag the CTI – one or the other, but not both.

No other suggestions from me at the moment.

Have you got any overrides in your project? Not just on timelines…check buttons, menus, etc.

Try exporting it as a self-contained AVI from Premiere, and let Encore transcode it.
Does that work?

What’s your pixel aspect ratio when exporting from After Effects? Are you exporting an AVI? If so, which codec?

Well, they are all menu icons, as you surmised.
The icons with the page fold in the upper-right corner represents a menu template.
The icon with the star over it represents the default menu (the menu that gets imported into the project when you press Ctrl/Cmd + M (Windows/Mac).

As an extra measure, also try deleting ProjectPrefs2.xml.
