Default Do all the UK/EU Mummy BDs have burned in subtitles for the Egyptian dialogue?

I'd like to get The Mummy Trilogy on Blu-ray from the UK, but I wanted to be sure of something first!

I don't know if any of you remember this but the European DVD release of The Mummy used hideous player generated subtitles for all the "Egyptian" dialogue in the movie. The US DVD kept the lovely burned in subs (that were used on the cinema print) for the Egyptian dialogue. These burned in English subs were in a lovely looking "Egyptian heiroglyphic" style font. The PAL DVD used an ugly, generic font for the subtitles.

I believe this was not an issue for The Mummy Returns, as Universal used burned in English subs in the attractive Egyptian font for the sequel's PAL DVD release.

What I wanted to know was whether all three films on Blu-ray in the UK have the burned in English subs using the nice looking Egyptian style font?

If the subs are burned in then does that mean if you choose to watch the films with foreign subs enabled then you get two sets of subs (i.e. one set in English and another set in a different language) during the bits with Egyptian Dialogue?

Cheers!
