english system can't view Chinese subtitle on VLC on yosemite
anyone can help me? thanks

You probably need to ask the people who make vlc
1. Download the subtitles file (SRT files) from http://www.subtitlesearch.org or my favourite piratebay.se
2. In VLC Media Player, go Tools > Preferences > Subtitles & OSD, make sure your settings are as such:
In particular,
Position: Bottom-Left
Default encoding: Universal, Chinese (GB 18030)
Font: LiSong Pro (儷宋 Pro) (Arial Unicode MS may also work, try that first!)
Font Size: Normal
The VLC Media Player is very fussy and only accepts LiSong Pro (儷宋 Pro) (Previous link no longer works, Comment below with your email address and I can send it over by email). Put the downloaded font into C:\Windows\Fonts. SimSun and all other fancy Chinese fonts don't cut it for VLC.
