hello everyone,

My prefered font looks horrible under JMC beside Size is unchagable what ever you do set, it goes back to 16...(same font work great with mpc-hc)

It's not possible to use xysubfilter.

If you post details about the problem you're having, including a way to reproduce it (sub file or sample video), there's a good chance we'll be able to fix it.

Thanks.

the 1st prob, MC19 doesn't support arabic characters.



2nd thing, font size is unchagable. what ever i set i get a popup window saying that the size must be between 12 and 12 points as showen below.



thank you!

Font size is set in the options window, not the subtitle font selection. By default it is 100%.

ok my friend thank you, lets wait now for some fix about the arabic characteres.

Could you give a way for us to reproduce?

I just tested a Hebrew sample file I have here and the subtitles look basically the same in MC and MPC-HC.

Thanks.

[sat4all]

correct characters under mpc-hc (same fonts,script...)

[Matt]

Could you give a way for us to reproduce?

[sat4all]

i got it now, i had to set non unicode programmes language to arabic in my windows settings.
but still not perfect! the symbols (?,-") not in their correct places and also the font look very different compared to mpc-hc or any other programme.



i have attached sub file sample and the font file. what else can i provide to help fixing this?

thank you!

[Matt]

Thanks for the sample.

There are two issues:

1) How to interpret ANSI text.  My belief is that any Unicode should be saved as UTF-8, UTF-16, etc. instead of an ambiguous ANSI format.  I don't understand why SRT files aren't all saved like this already.  Normally you can use Notepad (or Notepad++) to convert when necessary.

2) Rendering of LTR fonts with advanced joining rules like Arabic present a challenge for the JRiver text engine.  It's an area I'd like to improve through the course of MC19.

thanks alot for you time my friend.
i will stay tunned to any improvement regarding the text engine.

[Matt]

It's possible the fix coming in the next build for Thai will also help Arabic:

Any testing or feedback would be appreciated once the build is public.

[sat4all]

too much improvement regarding the font, but still some issues like symbols not showing in their correct places.

thank you & best regards

take a look at the post12 (.srt attached) and compare it to my mpc-hc screenshot.
it's all about punctuation marks now.

thanks

Post 12 doesn't have a screenshot.  The only screenshot above from MC is before the recent fixes.  Could you try again?

Also, is the punctuation on the wrong side of the word, or just using the wrong glyph?

Thanks.
