MKV embedded subtitle mistake

[fahlim003]

I'm running .8.6 on XP and I'm viewing a .mkv with subtitles (no SRT file, so I assume embedded). Now my problem is that someone decided the font makeup would be fancy and as a result I see the code associated with manipulating the font output along with the actual sub. Clearly, I'm no expert with this but I tried another program KMPlayer and it outputs the font correctly without displaying the code associated. I assume this is a feature that VLC cannot simply handle at the moment? Although any advice on this is welcome as I'd rather use VLC for all purposes as I've done already for the past couple years. Thanks

VLC supports some 9 different sub formats. More than any other player. You will need to rip the MKV apart to id the format. You also (in most cases) can make changes and re-mux the file using Matroska tools.

These issues are known are corrected in the latest trunk nightly builds.
USF support, HTML tags support and more SSA, txt support.

Are you sure? ViPlay supports 55:

If the VLC team listed them that way, then I guess the number would be much higher.
