Hi. Have you installed VLC from the packman repository?
In the program preferences there an apposite section to set subtitles.

These are VLC options, nothing to do with Linux itself.

Anyway I already reported the bug -> [packman] [PM] vlc 0.9.1-0.pm.0 (openSUSE 11.0/x86_64)](http://212.112.227.138/pipermail/packman/2008-August/005989.html)

Just install freefont and change from “/usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont/FreeSerifBold.ttf” to “/usr/share/fonts/truetype/FreeSerifBold.ttf” in VLC preferences.

Hi, dont know if this is your problem but i has problem with subtitles. and solved changing default font.
check in tools - > preferences → subtitles and osd … and pick a font, i choose → /usr/share/fonts/truetype/DejaVuSans.ttf. after that reopen the movie and subtitle files and its working now…

im using opensuse 11

kde 4.1.2 release 48.1
