Japanese characters not displaying

Postby mickinakilt » 11 Mar 2012 18:45

With 2.0, when I play a video with Japanese characters in the title, when the title displays on the screen they are replaced by squares. This didn't happen in 1.11. Do I need to change a setting or should I file a bug report? Thanks.

Change font in preferences -> Subtitles / OSD.
Default setting is Arial Black and it cannot display Japanese properly.
On VLC 2.0.1, default setting is changed to Arial Unicode MS that can display most of major languages.
