Preflight checklist

• [X] I have searched the issue tracker for a bug report that matches the one I want to file, without success.
• [X] I have searched the frequently asked questions for a solution that fixes this problem, without success.
• [X] I have checked that I'm using the latest stable version of the app.

What app version are you using?

v5.1.0

What operating system version are you using?

Windows

Expected Behavior

When inputting external subtitles, the Japanese Text would display properly. (I expect Japanese to be supported, given the Preferred Subtitled Language setting.)

Actual Behavior

Instead, all the characters are errors.

Having tested various different subtitles with various series, external subtitles of the romance language have no issue. Japanese however, does. Have also tested on other media players, and they expectedly display without issue.

the default fallback font in miru doesn't support japanese characters, you'll need to install a font on your PC that does, then set that as default fallback font in settings

It seems I'm retarded. Thanks.

[ThaUnknown]

nah, I considered making a font that supports jp sub

[dfireBird]

I tried changing the default subtitle font to 'Noto Sans CJK JP' but I get the error in screenshot.

huh, cool

@dfireBird this is fixed in 5.1.2 https://github.com/ThaUnknown/miru/commit/33f9124cc9b9d3831413a636b70dfc0bf66f0613

there's not an easy to fix this, however the solution is "use a fallback font which has japanese characters", but if the release includes a font, which doesnt support jp characters, then proceeds to create fonts which have jp chars, this wont work, so i'm gonna track this issue in https://github.com/ThaUnknown/miru/issues/329

Local system issue with font config in javascript. Really, really weird. Fixed it and also updated to latest version.

Truly sorry.
