Subtitles with accented characters

Hi,

I'm having troubles with SRT subtitles in french. All accented characters are displayed wrong. The file is UTF8, I tried with other charset but with no luck...
Am I doing something wrong ?
Find attached, a screen cap with the sample phrase "Moi j'écrirai ton nom" and the SRT file.

Thanks for the help :)

Hi,
Did you try muxing the disc? Preview text field may work wrong (I'll check it).

Yes, the same when muxed and all renderers.

If you change the font in the 'Font' combobox - the problem is still here?

Yes I tried with a lot of fonts and the problem stills here. Arial is an extended font and should work with accented chars, no problem with other softwares.
I found that the auto-corrected srt file in the folder of the name of the srt file contains corrupted chars instead of the accented ones.

Ok, thank you, I think I've found an error. Will fix it in the next beta.

Frankly, the error I have found, was not related to your problem.
But I remember that similar problem was when SRT did not have BOM
Check please the BOM or try to convert subtitles to Unicode.
