How to get French subtitles looking good when I watch movies through KMplayer or Windows media player etc ?
For example, phrase: "- T'étais bizarre au téléphone". appears as: "- T'йtais bizarre au tйlйphone". 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Oddly enough, when I speak French, it comes out badly distorted, but I expect that it a completely different issue from yours.

LOL! Very good :-) However, moving to the OP's question, it's probably down to the interpretation of the subtitle file's encoding by the player. Im my experience these files are simple text files. Try opening them up in Notepad or something similar and see if the text displays correctly. I'm not familiar with whether you can configure KMPlayer to use a particular encoding and apart from smi files I've generally has to use something like ffdshow or similar to get WMP to display subtitles. VLC player, for example, can be set to use a particular encoding. If they display correctly in Notepad, try doing a "Save As" and forcing the encoding to Unicode or UTF-8 and see if that makes any difference. If they don't, you might need to google again - I've had some that just displayed cr*p no matter what I did. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I don't know anything about computers, but a lot of French e accent aigue from texts appear as й since I have changed my overall language settings from English to Russian. If you've done the same, you might want to try and change it back?
