From my experience the generic WDTV font is used, which is a shame really.

About the softsubs embedded in mkvs: sometime there even is a ttf font embedded. are these fonts correctly displayed or is a generic font used?

Yes, I noticed. But not the way I like it. I do not want to see QC notes and the WD shows them to me.

Hi, does this thing play softsubs from most anime-mkv’s?

What firmware are you using? The latest fixed some series for me, the others I had to convert to mp4’s using MKVTools (Mac).

Have you found a way to get the japanese 1 (unsupported) working. I am having the same problem.

I haven’t tested .ogm files, but I don’t think they’re supported yet.

Does it play .ogm files? I’ve downloaded a lot of anime in this format..

~~I haven’t really come across .mp4 files with subtitles. I could try converting one of my .mkv files to .mp4 and see if it recognizes the subtitle.~~

I can confirm the WDTV does indeed show subtitles from .mp4 files.
