The VideoLAN Forums

When I am watching a video with subtitles sometimes random boxes containing X's appear. I am not sure if the character that it's supposed to be is not supported by VLC or if it is supposed to be something else. If I had tot take a guess I would say it was supposed to be quotations, but it often occurs at times when quotations wouldn't make sense to use, so I believe that it is a different problem. Here is a picture of it (there were words under the black box, but I covered them): Any help would be appreciated.

it means the font has no glyph for the character.
Try another one.(Tools -> Preferences -> Subtitles / OSD -> Font)

I assumed it would be something like that. Thank You
