I tried setting font to Droid Sans Fallback in an ASS file(I have the font in my device) but VLC still couldn't display the subtitles. I can't specify font for SRT file, it probably depends on media player, but VLC for android doesn't seem to allow users to set font like VLC for PC.

It shows nothing for Chinese in most cases. If the Chinese subtitle contain English or numbers, they can be displayed. When I select a GB18030 subtitle, if I set subtitle encoding to UTF-8, VLC shows ???? for every line, if I set encoding correctly(GB18030), it show nothing again.

VLC can't display Chinese subtitles(UTF-16, GB18030) although I've chosen the correct subtitle encoding. I tried converting the subtitles to UTF-8 using iconv but got no luck.
VLC version is VLC-Android-1.2.0-20150327-0104-ARMv7.
