The VideoLAN Forums

So i got the new version of VLC just now because i noticed you have added some more features that allow a much greater control over subtitle formatting. Especially font and style.

I can't seem to get an ogm or an mkv file to disply subtitles at all. The program recognizes the proper number of subtitle tracks and even the names of the tracks, it just won't display them.

same here,
no matter what subtitle (text) format (srt, ass, ....)
it always render the same text in vlc
