Hello,
My Raspberry Pi 2 with Libreelec V7.0.1 (Kodi 16.1 Git:c327c53 complied May 17, 2016) displays some wrong black word subttile in white sentence. It happens about one over five string; it means 4 strings are correct and 1 string wrong. The font encoding is arial.ttf with utf-8. The subttile is external .srt
The error does not happen with english subttile.
I have tried a lot of setting in system->video->subttiles and cannot fix the problem.
Have you checked on a different player? VLC for example? To make sure the player is the problem. The srt file could also be the cause of the problem.
I don't think this is an LibreElec problem. You should post this on the Kodi forum.
Have you checked the .srt file for any color coding?
Subtitle text not displaying correctly
English sub with no matter, but in Vietnamese subtibles, some Vietnamese sentences 're good, the others 're missed, some text disappear, (2 different sub, one with dual language, one with only Vietnamese)like picture below

It happen in all platforms: RPI, IMX, X86.
For KODI 16.1 in Windows, OSX, Subtitle displaying works ok with same srt file.
Please fix, thanks
Edit: I found that it is Font issue, because when I copy Arial unicode MS Font from Windows to /storage/.kodi/media/Fonts/ , change subtitle font to Arrial unicode MS, subtitle showing good. Hope this help.

Thanks for the guide. I have tried to overide the default "/usr/share/kodi/media/Fonts/arial.ttf" with windows arial.ttf . However, it is in a only read-only mount system.
mount -o rw,remount /usr
with error "mount: can't find /usr in /proc/mounts"
cat /procs/mounts
does not help how to solve the problem.
How to remount for read-write the mountpoint /usr/share/kodi/media/Fonts/ ? Thanks

The filesystem is read only.
Use /storage/.kodi/media/Fonts/
Hi
Overide with window arial.ttf cannot fix the problem.
Decompressed the read-only kodi image by raspbian squashfs-tools:
sudo mount /dev/mmcblk0p8 /tmp/kodi
cd /tmp/kodi
sudo unquashfs SYSTEM # it will create a folder named squashfs-root
cd squashfs-root
# change to kodi Fonts directory
cd /tmp/kodi/usr/share/kodi/media/Fonts/
ls # it will display three fonts : arial.ttf, DejaVuSans.ttf, teletext.ttf
#overide with arrial.ttf from windows
sudo cp /mnt/nas/arial.ttf /tmp/kodi/usr/share/kodi/media/Fonts/
cd /tmp/kodi
sudo mv SYSTEM SYSTEM.bak # backup old image
sudo mksquashfs squashfs-root SYSTEM # recompress the kodi image
cd /tmp
sudo umount /tmp/kodi
sudo reboot # reboot to libreelec -kodi

Anyway can I try to fix subtittle problem? Thanks
HoangLee: why are you trying to copy the font file into the read-only filesystem when you've been told to copy it into /storage/.kodi/media/Fonts ?

Simply, there is not directory "Fonts" in /storage/.kodi/media/
I have to use find command line to search where is the font arial.ttf so I did that.
OK, fixed the missed characters in the default fonts by Window arial.ttf
Now, I am happy with libreelec -kodi . Thanks a lot.
1. Dont use arial.ttf font, use Arial Unicode MS (arialuni.ttf) in Windows
2.Dont need decompressed image, waste of time.
Just simply create new folder name "Fonts" in "storage/.kodi/media/" directory and copy "Arialuni.ttf" font (not Arial.ttf) into it, restart kodi and check subtitle opntion in Video tab.
Hope someone fix this issue in next release.
So i think u can use some code :
mkdir /storage/.kodi/media : creat foder media
cd /storage/.kodi/media : move to media
wget fontvn.tgz --no-check-certificate : get link font u want to install
tar xf fontvn.tgz : Install
rm -f fontvn.tgz
Reboot box affter that chose u font : System/Videos/Subtitles/Fonts: etc: The font i choose Font Arial Unicode.
Enjoy this ...
So difficult for me ... but i'm verry excited.
