I would do it if I thought the problem was with the VLC media player but I don't. I believe the subtitles themselves are the issue and so something must be messed up when extracting them from the videos.
Please help me find out where the problem is and fix it.

Add it to trac, yes.

I dont understand what you want me to do

I have an .ass sub file I want to use with an episode I have, but to use the .ass file I had to extract it from a lower quality episode. In the lower quality episode the fonts were like so ( http://www.image-upload.net/di/MT0A/good.jpg ), but when I used mkvextract to get the subtitles and then used...

HELP ME SOLVE THIS! PLEASE!

Now it happened again with different videos and subtitles! PLEASE help me solve this!! I do this kind of stuff a lot (taking better subtitles from low quality videos to use with better quality ones) and this problem is a real pain in the ass! I'm really trying to give you all the information you ask...

I have now downloaded a new version of the video and subtitles (almost same fonts, same text) and the problem still persists.. I used MKVextract to split the subtitles from the video, then played the better quality video I have, added the new subtitles, and again - the fonts are different than when ...

Please help me fix it! I am trying to give you all the information you need and this problem is really frustrating me!
From what I understand the .ass includes the fonts, if it doesn't, I'll try to locate them but I'll need a little direction..

We need the .ass and the fonts, please.

Here is the .ass file

And I don't know how to give the fonts..

You guys have been really helpful until now, could you please continue helping me try to solve my problem?

Thank you for the info. Then, I want the fonts and ASS script, I don't need video and audio. I put in my post above all the information that was written. The first code includes what I think is relevant and the latter just has all the excess information that I thought couldn't hurt to add. Sorry if...

I think there are 2 patterns using embedded fonts: - Attachment in the MKV. - Embedded in ASS script. You can check the attachments in the MKV file using mkvinfo. mkvinfo foobar.mkv |+ Attachments | + Attached | + File name: foobar.ttf | + Mime type: application/x-truetype-font | + File data, size:...

Does the ASS script have the embedded fonts (Fansub Block, BakerSigned BT, etc) ?

How can I check?
Also, if it will make things easier to understand, here is the file itself:

I've done what you said but I don't really know what to make of it..
This is what was written from the correct video:

and this is from the problematic one:

screenshot please? Sorry.. again.. Here they are: This is the right way for the fonts to be displayed http://www.image-upload.net/di/PKU4/Capture2.jpg This is the wrong one http://www.image-upload.net/di/N9PH/Capture1.jpg And this is a problem that occurs because of it http://www.image-upload.net/d...

You need to be more specific, than 'wrong' Sorry, what I meant was that I think the fonts in the ass were swapped with others inside it. There are several fonts in it, some are for dialogue and some are for signboards, and I believe that these fonts swapped places so the signboards fonts appear on ...

I have a problem with an ass file not displaying correctly on some of my videos. I have 2 videos that are identical tho with different quality, but only 1 had subtitles and they were merged with the video. I used mkvextract in order to split the sub from the video, but when I played the other video ...
