External ASS subtitles are working in my Gotham build (compiled from git source).

I am not using any subtitle addons. I tested a .ass subtitle created from srt file using srt23dass, a tool for creating ass files for sbs/ou 3d files from srt. The option 'Override ASS/SSA subtitles font' is enabled in xbmc subtitle settings, but disabling it doesn't change anything.

If it works then I'm guessing the subtitle files the OP has are not formatted correctly, that's the only thing I can think of really. Since I only use SRT I'm out of ideas.
