Homebrew Subtitles on Dpg4x?

[strayofthesun]

I'm using Dpg4x on Ubuntu 12.04 and whenever I try to add subtitles, either from a mkv file or from a sub file the words just come up as lines. like this: ----- ----- ----. numbers are the only thing that show up. I use default settings, except when I choose to browse for subtitle file. Any ideas on how to get them to work?

You may wish to consider hardcoding the subtitles into the video file before sending them into the DPG converter, if the DPG converter can't handle the hardcoding itself. Of course this will be one more re-encode that could reduce quality, so it's a trade-off.
