--- Comment #4 from balooii <balo...@proton.me> --- Kdenlive is using ffmpeg subtitles filter for this AFAIK. So I tried to reproduce it via ffmpeg command line. Create a minimal subtitle file `arabic_sub.srt` with the following content: ``` 1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000 الأسد ``` Then use a random sample video file and burn in these subs via ffmpeg subtitles filter. The following command gives me the same result (square box visible) as when rendering via Kdenlive/MLT. ffmpeg -i sample_video.mp4 -vf subtitles=arabic_sub.srt:force_style='FontName=Arial' burned_in_subs.mp4 When using `Noto Sans Arabic` instead it works (same as it does in Kdenlive) ffmpeg -i sample_video.mp4 -vf subtitles=arabic_sub.srt:force_style='FontName=Noto Sans Arabic' burned_in_subs.mp4 I don't know Arabic nor do I have these other Arabic fonts you mentioned. I'm not really sure if this is a bug or just expected in case the specified font does not support whatever feature is needed to correctly display these characters. So maybe you can try some other Applications how they behave using different fonts and compare it to what Kdenlive or ffmpeg outputs? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
