Default Chinese subtitle?

First let me say that this program is fabulous. The subtitle embedding works nicely for my English subtitles.

I have a Chinese subtitle file (srt, in UTF-8 coding) that works for e.g. KMPlayer. I was trying to embed it, but there are several problems:

(1) the code page list does not contain UTF-8 (nor GB2312, the native Chinese coding). I could not find where this can be configured. So I converted the encoding to unicode via MS Word so I could choose that.

(2) The subtitle showed up garbled. So I supposed I needed a Chinese font. but the browser button is for *saving* the font file, not loading one. So I typed the font path (a ttf Chinese font) into the text box. The subtitle would not display at all. And it wouldn't show up even with English title. I even tried to overwrite the default font file with a new font file, but still it wouldn't show. It seems the only way to have subtitle displayed is to use the supplied font -- not a different one, not even with the same name.

So is there a way to embed a Chinese subtitle?

Thanks ...
