If someone doesn't mind, I could use a bit of help applying this patch.
I checked out the latest SVN and am trying to run the patch from $HOME/XBMC with
patch -p0 -i xbmc-vdpau-subtitles.patch
but it keeps throwing an error back -
patch: **** Only garbage was found in the patch input.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? from my research thus far, it appears I've given "patch" the wrong format flag, but I'm not sure what the correct one is.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

As of rev 22961-22964, it shouldn't be necessary to apply that patch.

Yep. That took care of it.
SVN 22999 crashed when playing and had some subtitle skewing (being rendered at such an extreme angle that it looked like gibberish)
SVN 23005 doesn't crash but still has the subtitle rendering issue.
Some of the subtitles are rendered correctly, others look like gibberish.
However, I've found a workaround that will hold me until this is found and fixed.
1. Play file w/ VDPAU enabled
2. Note some(not all) corrupted subtitles
3. Stop playback and go to settings>Videos
4. Change rendering method to something else
5. Play file again and notice perfect subtitles
6. Stop playback - Go back to settings>Videos and re-select VDPAU as the renderer
7. Play file again, note perfect subtitles w/ VDPAU acceleration.
This "fixes" the issue for all of my anime files w/ ssa/ass subtitles until I shut down XBMC.

This is great news! Having to watch many anime without VDPAU enabled has definitely not been fun. I'm hoping XBMC 9.10 will have this working perfectly.

Anyone got a problem with ogm files and embedded subtitles?
Again its anime and the subtitles show but only for a split second, they apprear onscreen and then go even before the character is speaking.
VLC obviously works but then i dont get VDPAU which is kind of needed on my Zotac Atom box.

ah, well i have an NZB for the files that i downloaded, you can have that if you want but then youll be downloading all 43 episodes of GTO (at 11gig)!
At the moment ive used ogmdemux to extract the subtitles to srt which work fine and dandy and i would like to mention that i am VERY happy with XBMC and thankful for all the work thats being done on it.

I am also seeing this corruption with mkvs, very hit and miss. Although once the video has stopped the writing in the top left corner in menus becomes corrupted. Also corrupted is every heading under system information.
I can try and send samples or screen shots if requested.

okey. so the ssa/ass corruption seem to happen in combination with font corruption in xbmc in general?

Hi,
for me, the corruption in the font of the xbmc "system" only occurs after a corruption occurrence in the subtitles of a video with ASS subtitles (and VDPAU enabled).
I never encounter a corruption in the system font before trying to play a video.
