Not really .
As I mentioned the subtitle is Unicode and all mainstream fonts are
Unicode-compatible .
Anyway , I tried the same font I use in Totem-gstreamer and the result
didn't change .
I investigated the issue ( under Debian at least) before I reported It .
I attached a sample subtitle in the previous e-mail . Try It (in a Linux
environment) and tell me If you had luck ( A screenshot will definitely
convince me) .

Thank you for replying .
