VLC HowTo/Select a unicode font
Revision as of 02:06, 13 November 2016 by DoesItReallyMatter (talk | contribs) (DoesItReallyMatter moved page VLC HowTo/Adjust subtitle font settings to VLC HowTo/Select a unicode font without leaving a redirect: I messed up the merge between Select Subtitles Unicode Font and VLC HowTo/Adjust subtitle font settings...)
| This page describes how to select a Unicode font. | Other "how to" pages |
This could be necessary to watch e.g. Chinese subtitles.
Go to Tools -> Preferences (set Show Settings to All) and Video -> Subtitles/OSD.
Then change the Text Rendering Module from Default to Freetype2 font renderer.
After that go to Video -> Subtitles/OSD -> Text renderer and choose Unicode font (like Arial) to Font.
Remember to press Save to save VLC settings and restart VLC after that to make sure changes are enabled.
