FFmpeg Custom Font Directory

[jay123210599]

I have an .ass subtitle file. How do I use ffmpeg insert a directory of custom fonts so the subtitles only use them and NOT the system fonts, and export the result as another .ass file?

I'm not sure if FFmpeg can do that; Aegisub can.

If you need to burn subtitles onto the video using fonts from a directory, use:

ffmpeg -i S01E01.mkv -vf subtitles=S01E01.ass:fontsdir="My Fonts":force_style="fontname=EB Garamond" -c:v libx264 OUT.mp4
