Persian Subtitle font problem

[MrSmile 0]

Hi

thanks for your nice apps.

android app have problem with Persian subtitle.

this font is bad and some alphabets doesn't show correctly (like what you see in the attached photo)

we have bad font in the web and TV too. but they can show all alphabets

Please change this fonts, I suggest to use "B Koodak" font for Persian subtitles as default. it's most popular font for subtitles in the Persian.

Hi, is the only problem the missing characters?

Major problem is this. but minor problem is this font isn't a Persian font (maybe Arabic, I'm not sure) and it's hard to read.

Can you zip up the subtitle file and attach it here? we can add the missing characters to our font. Thanks.

I attached a subtitle what I screened before.

and "B koodak" font

also attached a subtitle with coded "B Koodak" font. it works on Emby android very well. (not in web player and didn't test on LG TV)

maybe these make better help.

 

but as I saw before it's not problem with an alphabet! I saw it with another characters too, but don't remember which.

Emby android - mobile app or our TV app?

Android Mobile

I haven't Android TV to check it there.

Hmm, well that's strange because the web app and android mobile are using the same font file. Can you try the online web app:

http://app.emby.media

 

Please let me know how that compares. Thanks.

it's got well, but still not fine!
some characters still don't fix (attached photo).
the font is barely readable!!!
the major problem (as the first post in this topic) not changed a little while playing with DLNA and seeing too many box characters in subtitles! (I would send a photo about it later)

Dlna? This topic is about the android app. What about playing inside the android app?

and here it is what I'm talking about the barely readable Persian font in Emby Media player:

Hi, have you tried with Emby for Android 3.1.69? How does that compare?

as you can see here.

can I ask for a feature to have an advanced subtitle options like add or changing fonts?

where can I ask it?

and also about DLNA font problem too (it's like old android version with too many boxes text)
