Bug ID: 437159
Summary: Ability to set which font to use for subtitling tool
Product: kdenlive
Version: 21.04.0
Platform: Other
OS: Microsoft Windows
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: Video Display & Export
Assignee: j...@kdenlive.org
Reporter: wzc782970...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Currently, the Kdenlive subtitling tool introduced in 20.12 don't have any
setting options, if user enters plain text, it will render subtitle to the
video using the system default font, which may cause problems. For example,
when using Windows, it may use a non-free font.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. On a system that uses non-free font by default (Windows for example), use
Kdenlive to edit a video
2. Add some plain text subtitle
3. Render to file and see the result.
OBSERVED RESULT
It will use the non-free system default font.
EXPECTED RESULT
Offer an option in the Configure Kdenlive dialog to allow set the (default and
fallback) font that will be used and use that instead.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Probably useful links while doing the resourcing:
https://www.mltframework.org/plugins/FilterAvfilter-subtitles/
I read the source code a little bit but sadly don't find where did the subtitle
preference happen in the code. I guess maybe it's in
/src/effects/effectstack/model/effectstackmodel.cpp and it tell MLT to use
"avfilter.subtitles" and the I lost my tracking. Not sure what other
information should I provide and please tell me if any additional information
is needed. Hope that helps.
