Playing traditional Chinese subtitles.

Postby kineticwave » 14 Nov 2012 06:42

There are both traditional and simplified Chinese subtitles included in the .mkv video file I would like to watch, but VLC cannot display them correctly, coming out simply as boxes. I've tried changing to the available encodings but none of them seem to work. Any solutions or ideas? Thanks.

What font would you recommend? And should I leave the encoding at default or use a certain one?
