try something like:

echo -e 'Call 2 reinit fontfile=/usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont/FreeSerif.ttf:text=W old:fontcolor=white\nCall 5 reinit fontfile=/usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont/FreeSerif.ttf:text="Hallo Woldäüö߀":fontcolor=white'
(i copy and pasted above from log so it should work)

and pipe this into a ffmpeg with a drawtext filter.

it should shedule reinits of it with the given parameters at
seconds 2 and 5
