Characters

[Danijel]

Hi there!

I am using the latest version of VideoLAN (0.8.2) running on Mac OS X Tiger. I'm having problems with croatian characters (č, ć, đ, š, ž), no matter which encoding technique I select it always displays wrong characters (which I doubt even exist in any alphabet), it's very annoying. I'd like to know if this is VLC's absence of support for those characters or do I need to configure some options to make it work.
Also, I'd like to recommend an option for subtitles' size, Large is kinda small, but then Very Large is huge, so there's a big difference between those two, there should be an option like in Word where you can choose the number of letters' size and next to it an example window where you could see how big the letters will be.

Thanks in advance for any help that will be (or won't be) posted.

I just downloaded MPlayer and used CP1250 encoding for subtitles and all characters except one (?, ?) were correctly displayed. Tried the same encoding technique in VLC and only one character was shown correctly (Š, š), others were displayed as rectangles, various lines and other garbage.
Since subtitles are crucial to me I will have to use MPlayer which is sad because VLC has great potential and much more features. Hopefully, this will change in the future and I'll use your program again.

Keep up the good work guys.
