One character in subtitles is not displayed anymore

Snark · #1 (**permalink**) 1st April 2003

Since the version 086 b 493, the russian character "??" (char #254) is not displayed in subtitles. Instead, square blocks appear in the end of the phrase, where this character has to be.
Version 086 b 494 has the same problem.

Now I use version 085 b 490, which displays all correct.
Please, fix it if it is a bug, or tell me what to do to set it up.

Same problem here with turkish character "ş" (lowercase, #254, OS:Win98). All other turkish characters (including uppercase of the one with problem) appear correct.

Divx subtitle displayer shows them all correctly, but I hate to use it.

Here is a workaround:

Well, the problem is probably with SubRip file interpreter. I have converted the subtitles to MicroDVD format and the character displays fine.

This is surely a solution, but I don't like MicroDVD format. I used to edit subtitles in ssa format, and then convert in srt.

Moreover, it is obviously a bug, so I'll be waiting developers fix it :?
