 |
|
I am running windows vista home premium (English). I have successfully installed the Korean IME so that I can type and display Korean in written text.
I have successfully d/l a movie and the appropriate .smi subtitle file. When I play the movie, the subtitles are displayed, but are NOT korean, just a bunch of garbage characters. Anybody have a solution? TIA. |

| Got it to work in GomPlayer, but had to manually set the subtitle font to 'Malgun Gothic'. Maybe this will help someone else... |

| I had the same problem. VLC will show garbage characters but GOMplayer worked fine. |

yes you need to make sure your player has korean fonts..
usually go into the settings and find 'fonts' and select a Korea font option... |

Worked it out...apparently the Korean font is called "Batang". |

If you're using VLC player, download the Korean font package file, "baekmuk-ttf-2.1.tar.gz" from ftp://ftp.mizi.com/pub/baekmuk/ then extract it to your \windows\fonts directory. In VLC, go to Settings>Preferences>Video>Subtitles/OSD>Text Renderer. In the font box, click browse and select the \windows\fonts directory. DON"T click on the font you want. TYPE the name. For Korean, it's usually "gulim.ttf" or "batang.ttf". Be sure not to use the the ".ttc" Windows OS version of the fonts since I wasn't able to get them to display the subtitles properly. Save the changes, exit the program and restart it. Now, you should be able to display Korean subtitles files in your vlc player with your movies.
Good luck! |
