although when there's a scene in a movie where the background changes to white or another light color... they're hardly readable on my tv (they blend in and can't hardly be read)... is there something that can be added in the settings that can improve this? like adding a small black border around the fonts; and not making them look ugly. that's the only downside i can find, what can't be said about mplayer subs. kudos  :kickass:
i just committed to cvs a small change that will add a (semi) outline to the text. it should improve clarity.

i have tested 09-17-04 cvs build.
the ttf fonts for subtitle works,but i found a minor problem of it,when subtitle is displayed,the subtitle between next coming subtitle  has 1sec delay to display next subtitle. does anyone notice it?

also, the whole xbmc gui will becoming lag/delay when i enabled ttf fonts for gui,but it does not have any problems using english language , latin1 charset it runs smooth.

anyway, thanks yuvalt for the hard work :bowdown:

mine works perfect. are you sure it has nothing to do with the sub itself?

anyway, i've just tested the new mplayer.dll compiled from mplayer cvs source tree, and it seems that the problem i mentioned earlier (double-overlapping sub display on ogm/mkv) has been fixed. props to yuvalt :joker:. the new thin outline on ttf subs works near-perfect, now the subs seem easier to read although it might be a lot easier if a black outline was used instead of white. or maybe we can include that as an option?

i have the same problem... i used the arial based unicode font from windows and the xbox lag everytime there is a lot of chinese characters on the screen (traditional or simplified)

i can hear the xbox hard disk thrashing when there are lots of files listed on the screen.

i switched to a tsc unicode font (check alan wood's excellent page on the subject)... the file is smaller, and the lag is noticeably less.
