subtitles

[bhikumhatre007]

Hi,

I use FC4 and installed vlc through yum today. I tried to run a few files with subtitles and unfotunately none of them worked.


the error was as follows:

[00000341] freetype private error: failed to load font file /usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont/FreeSerifBold.ttf

could anyone please help me understand why?

does that file exist?

no, so i had to create the 2 directories truefont and the other and then download the font file from the net and somehow got my subtitles running. the problem is the font is really baad...how to tell vlc to use some other font?

You can set the font in the Preferences dialog (Video > Subtitles > Text renderer > Font)
