With OBS MP I'm stuck with Arial, to read my text files. If I use any other font the resulting text will be scrambled and unreadable. With the original OBS however, from text files you could use any font you want, and it would be legible. So, does any one know when we will be able to use different fonts for txt. files in OBS MP?

Text source fonts seem to work fine when reading from a text file for me, at least with ANSI and UTF8.

Could you provide a text file that's giving you a problem?
Does it happen with all text files or just certain ones?

My apologies sapiens, I haven't been able to respond.
I have tried multiple txt. files,but just the ones I use from my twitch labels program.
This does happen with all fonts on OBS MP, but not in the original OBS. I have taken screenshots to help explain.

Using standard Default text in OBS MP I have no Problems at all.

Sadly however, when using any other font other than Arial, it is shown is a very, incomprehensible text.

I attempt the same thing here in the original OBS. (I am using two monitors, so I had to screenshot each window individually.)

This is the text from the settings above, it appears fine.

This is the setting/font I would like to use in OBS MP.

Sorry for posting so many screenshots, just wanted to make my problem clear.

(Just sort of copying and pasting a response about text-related stuff)
1.) If you are rendering non-english or unicode characters, the font you use must have those characters (it must be a unicode font or a font of the target language)
2.) If you are using a text file with non-english or unicode characters, that file must be saved with UTF-8
3.) On windows, at some point I'm going to implement the old version of the text source in addition to this one, to make text easier to work with because I realize the limitations of the current one
