      Is that about font being misdetected? Will that take long to fix it? If it's not so difficult than can some good soul fix it? Sorry for asking when you have full hands of work. Just need Japanese subtitles working on android...

      Droidsans font has english characters, but it doesn't have other characters. How about Notosans font?

      Notosans is not on all devices.

      What about "DroidSansFallback.ttf"? According to this link http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/25359/how-to-make-an-android-device-to-display-complex-rendering-of-indic-characters the "DroidSansFallback.ttf" lacked support for Tamil characters as of 2012, but it's always had great support for Asian (CJK) characters.

      My phone doesn't have DroidSansFallback.ttf

      How about include font into VLC?

      Looks like Droidsansfallback has indeed been removed from Android 5 and on: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1085218

      Google also recommends Noto for Asian fonts: https://www.google.com/design/spec/style/typography.html

      Maybe it's possible to include 2 fallbacks? One with Droidsansfallback for older devices with that font installed and the other with Noto fonts for all newer devices?
