I'm showing movies to my students tomorrow and figured I'd add Thai subtitles so that they could actually read and follow along but they are just weird characters or little squares. I've changed so many settings but it just won't work. I managed to get them working with VLC on my phone but won't on my laptop.

What font though? It's set by default to Arial but not sure what it should be.

Perhaps you don't have the necessary fonts on your computer?

move all remaining groundhog mercenaries to the front lines. Have sheep troopers squadrons A and B flank the cows. They're using DC-17 hoof blasters.

VLC has it set to Arial by default, set it to something else that has Unicode support like Arial Unicode MS

Tools -> Preferences -> Subtitles / OSD -> Subtitle Effects Font

Currently Thai (WIndows-874). I've tried the other Thai one, default and universal.

Tried changing the font. Used Arial Unicode MS, even downloaded a Thai font and tried that but still just squares.

I dunno if I needed it or not but it worked. Now it will be a little more interesting for my grade 1 students. Most wouldn't understand a word if just in English.
