Hi.

I'm having a problem with the Freetype2 font renderer in the lastest versions of VLC. This module can't show correctly the special characters of the Spanish language, like á or ñ. Theses characters appears in the screen as squares.

With the default rendering module all works fine, but I want to use the Freetype2 because of the "Fat outline" option.

Here is a screenshot of the problem in the last version of VLC, 1.1.12



I've read some post talking about some problems with the subtitles in the 1.0.2 version, so I downloaded the 1.0.1 version and all works fine.

Here is a screenshot of the same video and subtitle files, rendering the text correctly with freetype2



Also, as you can see, the text in the 1.0.1 version is very much legible.

Nobody with the same problem?
Is there no solution for this problem?

The issue has been fixed on the nightly builds.

Hi.

I will test it today and tell you if the problem is fixed for me.

Thanks!

The subtitles are rendered perfect, thanks!
