Thank You , at least something to look for 😉
Unfortunately ( 😉 ) the font is there … so I’m in the “dark hole again”
My plan is:
1) completely remove Wiimc form sd , and reinstall older version
2) check out playback from sd and usb ( normally i use only smb and ftp) – how stupid of me i have not checked it before
3) if it doesn’t work, i’ll downgrade further , and see if subtitles work with even older versions
still any other suggestions will be most welcomed
but now back to work :-/
