Font size adjust wont work with external subtitles

Thanks for your bug. Do you use totem-gstreamer or totem-xine?

Eh, im not sure. It says Totem 1.4.0 - uses Streamer 0.10.4

That's totem-gstreamer. Changing the font works fine for me. Does it work after restarting totem? Is that specific to one video? Do you have an URL to download one example?

It does that with all divx movies with .sub files. It has allways done that.

Example file http://koti.mbnet.fi/oskunoma/test.sub

Eh, there is something fishy going on with my totem. Now texts starts from wrong part of the movie etc. I dont get this.

Okay, i changed to Totem-xine. Issue is back. I see text okay, but font setting isnt working.

Does anybody else get that issue?

I have same problem - can change subtitles size in Settings but with no effect. Totem 1.2.1 with xine-lib 1.0.1 Breezy.

I got exactly the same problem here, I had to edit the totem_config file in order to change the subtitle size: a change in Totem's Preferences produces nothing

Yes, I did the same and it works well now.

I confirm - changing the subtitle font size doesn't take any effect - subtitles are all small whatever font I set.

Using totem-xine, fully updated Dapper.

The issue is known if you use totem-xine:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=314123

This is still broken in Edgy.

I get some weird stuff on fonts when using totem-xine too, but I am not sure if its related to this bug.

If I open avi files with subtitles in srt format, everithing works fine (all my options are respected: font size and color, for example).

When I get a DVD, the font looks really bad, like a small font scaled too much and its color goes back to white-black-transparent (which is not what I selected in preferences menu). Any selection I do in font preferences is ignored (font type, size, color, etc)

I tried to change totem config file with no sucess. My settings are just ignored with DVDs, just as when I did it in totem's front end

There is a patch available at: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=314123

opening xine-lib task, it has to be built with freetype for that change

is that still an issue in hardy or intrepid?

I will try to check it out late at home and let you know

Bug still present in Intrepid

xine-lib is built with freetype-support since 1.1.7.

the jaunty version should work correctly
