PAC file encodings

PAC files allow two fonts with different encoding to be used, as showed in the image above.

The following encodings are available: Latin, Cyrillic, Cyrillic/Latin, Greek, Arabic, Farsi, Hebrew, Thai, Chinese Simplified/Traditional, Japanese and Korean.

Be sure that the correct encodings are selected to avoid non-printable, missing or messed up characters.

Code Page

This setting is valid for text files only. Use it if you are loading .TXT, .SRT, .SUB, etc. files. Be sure that the correct code page is selected to avoid missing or messed up characters.

EBU (.STL)

The EBU related settings are useful when an EBU file has not been loaded properly.

Force Start Box control code at the beginning of line - Inserts Start Box control code at the beginning of each line.

Force double height at the beginning of line - Insert Double height control code at the beginning of each line. It could be used to overwrite the characters' height set by the original EBU (.STL) file.

MicroDVD (.SUB) and SubRip (.SRT)

Sometimes, when the original .sub or .srt, created in Arabic, Hebrew or other right-to-left language, have been intended for playback on computer via some digital video player software (VLC, Windows Media Player, Media Player Classic, etc), the punctuation marks at the end of the line may incorrectly appear at the beginning. This is an issue which concerns the video player programs and how they display right-to-left text, but you can use the RTL Reorder option to get the file correctly working in ProMeida Carbon without editing it.
