How to make ass subtitles with external fonts work - skajmer - 2025-03-08
I have issue with using ass subtitles that include external fonts. I really don't know how to load the fonts in. Half of a season included everything in a mkv file and it was fine but the other one doesn't. I found which group made subtitles, directory included ass subtitles and a fonts directory. I uploaded subtitles to bazarr and made sure they won't be changed by it.
I tried installing fonts locally, and adding them to a container via a volume as described in docs. Nothing works. On all client (desktop media player, browser, android) it all looks the same.
I'm running jellyfin via docker container, jelly's version is 10.10.6.
Here are some screenshots comparing how it looks and how it should look:

Did you enable "fallback fonts" in Jellyfin? Dashboard > Playback > Transcoding > Enable fallback fonts.
I believe that setting is used for this situation.
