Please upload a sample file to http://streams.videolan.org/upload/

Quite likely, your mkv does not include the font so VLC falls back on a font which does not support non-latin alphabets.

The arabic subtitles is not working on smart phones' VLC.

The font is included inside the mkv and it's working on Windows, mxplayer (android) and kudi (iOS+Android).
