Subtitles disappeared permanently?

Postby gummibeat » 16 Oct 2011 17:23

Hi!

I've been using VLC as long as i remember and it has worked just fine until yesterday.
I was watching some video and all of a sudden the subtitles disappeared(not sure if i pressed something) and now i cant see them on any video i have?
I've tried reinstalling it and installing older versions but subs just dont show.
I've been googleing about it a lot but dont even find anythin similar problems :?

I got no idea what to do know. I tried other players but the video is unwatchable with weird pixelstuff appearing and disappearing with the otherplayers. seems like the picture gets broken but gets good in next scene. :cry:

Change the font in the preferences.

Which font is most likely to work? I have over 100 fonts in the dropdown box.....Times New Roman did not make the subtitles appear.....

Tools -> Messages (set Verbosity to 2) will complain when playback is started, if the font isn't a good one.
