Not quite, but close...Fantoma's disc of Alejandro Jodorowsky's Fando and Lis has an audio commentary by the director, whose heavy accent makes subtitling a neccesity. Its almost preferrable to watch the movie in Spanish, with the commentary subtitles.

Okay, Predator SE has a text commentary. The R1 will have one also.
A few years back you could get a Star Wars Ep. 1 text commentary from the DVD-ROM content.
There are more but gotta go.

All the Doctor Who discs have the subtitle commentary track - pretty entertaining and well done, too.
Also, the Excel Saga discs have Pop-up notes - and believe me, that show NEEDS notes about the in-jokes and cameos!

The Die Hard SEs all have a subtitle trivia track (i.e. text commentary).
I love this feature and hope to see more of it.

Bionicle: The Mask of Light has a "Pop Up Video" style text commentary. (Methinks its for the parents as kids understand the entire Bionicle universe without need for reference data.)

Informational Subtitles
These are transcripts of snippets from interviews with various crew members about casting decisions, special effects, editing, and so forth. While they are not nearly as interesting as the ones that appear on most Doctor Who releases, they do make a nice adjunct to the Audio Commentary.

Well, if we want to get into subtitled commentaries, then there are so many. The one that surprised me the most was on the Gen-X Cops HK DVD. It's in Cantonese but with English subs. Very few non-R1 DVDs have English subs on the extras so I was glad to have this. (Not that it matters to anyone here, but the Heroic Duo R3 from Korea has the director's commenary (in Cantonese) subtitled in Korean...) Anyway...
On topic:
Heartbreakers has a pop-up track.
(Does the Made teleprompter commentary count as text commentary? There were many nice words on that track.
