RTL Subtitles won't show correctly.

Issue #217 closed
Ali Vaseghnia created an issue

Subler is great, though for Unicode SRTs (specifically RTL languages, in my case Persian), most of subtitle files I get are shown as codes, which are unreadable. Though I've seen a few SRT files that show correctly after they're added to movie using Subler, but in most cases, they get corrupt.

    I have a similar issue. (Is it?) There is an italic "é" cannot display properly. Regular one (non-italic) works fine. I am not sure if it's player's issue or not. Just for your reference. Screen Shot 2017-07-20 at 10.55.43 PM.png

    No, that's means Subler couldn't guess the correct file encoding, open it in another text editor and save it as utf-8.

    Would you like to verify my .srt file? I use Notepad++ and make sure it's UTF-8 format. (At least Notepad++ says so) But it still doesn't show right correct in the film.

    There is a single "é" in the whole file, and the encoding detector is getting it wrong. A workaround for now is to save the file in UTF-16 and the import it in Subler.
