I confirm this for VLC 1.0.1, Karmic Alpha 5. I saw this bug already in Jaunty with VLC 1.0/1.0.1 from Kow's PPA. There used to be bug report about this in Videolan's tracker (http://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/2550), but this has been down for quite a while now (the whole tracker, not just this bug report).
No matter which font file is specified in the "Subtitles & On Screen Display Settings" dialog (in "Simple" mode preferences), "Display Settings" sections, "Font" input box, VLC always uses the same default font, probably DejaVu Sans, for external text subtitles. The selected font is, however, used for other on-screen elements, just as described by the original submitter. Apart from this, the font selection in VLC should be by font family via a system font dialog/font list and not by file name at all. This would more consistent with VLC's support for formatted subtitles. ** Bug watch added: VLC Trac #2550 http://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/2550 -- vlc ignores subtitle font setting https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/380077 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
