dvdauthor gui from liquid subtitles problem

[svcdprayer]

Thats very good gui! I just have a problem. I am from europe and i do select iso 8859-2 set, but there are missing some special characters from my language.

Why is that ?

I saw log and it says iconv to US-ASCII?

Anyone have a solution, how to fix that? or what im doing wrong ?

Thanks

I don't really have a good answer for you since I don't have any way of testing it at the moment. You might try replacing the binaries (located in the 'bin' folder) with the binaries from 0.6.9 from the sourceforge site. below is a link to that.

you might even try to use a different font, to see if that fixes your problem.

Hi Liquid!

Unfrontunately it still dosent work even with older binaries. The thing is that gui works only with system fonts such as: courier, arial, times new roman, but when i select any other font with my characters, it wont author the dvd.

When i select system font such as courier, arial etc it says in log: iconv to US-ASCII, it says for every font i entered. maybe thats the problem.
Heres the log from the dvd author when i select non system fonts: such as arial, courier, times new roman:

Maybe you can find from the log where the problem is. And btw my language is Croatian.
Keep up great working on gui, whenever you get free time:) Its excellent.


Thanks!

problem solved. i had to use cp1250 character set, not iso, that way works all special characters from my language are displayed correctly, however i cant use still my fonts but only system fonts(arial, courier, times new roman, tahoma). Honestly i do need only arial now, but do u know why with my fonts dvd cant be created but only system fonts ?


Thanks!
