Just as a consumer note, in conjunction with its Blu Ray release of The Seventh Seal, Criterion has replaced its old DVD of the film with a new DVD that uses the newly-subtitled version, so those of us unable to watch Blu-Ray can rest easy, secure if not in the knowledge then at least in the forms of the question.

Good! I didn't feel comfortable recommending the DVD until I knew they'd fixed it as well, but I couldn't tell from looking at their site. Thank you for letting me know.

That being the case, I do think it's about time I saw this movie again.

I think I've seen it five times now. I expect to see it again. It holds up.
