ssa subtitle encoding problem

[tomerb]

Hey all,

I'm trying to create a SubstationAlpha file for a video clip I have
I'm writing the file in hebrew (which is right-to-left)
but I can't find a definition to tell the filter that the file is right-to-left

I set it's encoding to 177 (hebrew) and everything seems fine except - numbers

If I have a number at the beginning of the line it moves it to the end of the line

Any ideas how can I fix it?
moving the numbers to the end of the line shows the same thing

I don't know for sure if it works, but you could try:

Check that in Control Panel -> Regional and Language Options -> Languages you have "Install files for complex scripts" enabled

Also, if you click on Details on that page, then Advanced tab, you don't have "Turn off advanced text services" checked.

1. open your file in notepad (yeah !)
2. save your file as a utf-8: File -> Save as... give it a name and chose encoding = UTF-8
3. if you right click in notepad, you can see you have the option to set the reading order as well as Unicode control characters.
