East-European font........problem

Postby neXus » 28 Jun 2007 14:07

I have subtitles that come in Serbian/Croatian language (Eastern European). And the problem is that when I try to load font from Text renderer, from Windows/Fonts, it won't load. As I push the Open button, nothing happens, it just won't execute.

Ok, found it, I needed to copy ttf files into skins/fonts in VLC dir, now they open. But still I'm missing these letters if you can see them ---> Č, Ć, Ž, Š, Đ. They are displayed as É, æ, and simmilar. Help!

Which ISO should I use??? Tried 8859-2 and it gave me correct letters except that the letter Ž is now a square

No it's not working the letter Č is displayed as Ш аnd the rest is displayed as square. I don't need Cyrilic, I need Latin version of it, On the web page you've url-ed, 8859-2 is for Croat, and that ain't working properly, the letters Č,Ć,Đ are displazed correctly, but letters Š, Ž, are like square.

Then pick one that suits you from the attached URL. The changes are shown and the languages supported are described. The one I picked seemed logical form your description.

BTW You may also need a Unicode font for the freetype2 font renderer.
