Display Chinese subtitle in VLC on macOS 15 Sequoia

😤 VLC shows squares instead of Chinese characters?

KNN CB Apple, always need us to suffer first before they sort things out. Wasted brain cells again, but whatever—just do this:

  1. Open Font Book
    • Go to Applications > Font Book.
  2. Check for Chinese Fonts
    • Search for PingFang SC (or any PingFang variants).
    • If not found, download and install them.
  3. Restart VLC
    • Quit VLC completely.
    • Reopen it after the fonts are confirmed installed.

That’s it — Chinese characters should now display properly in subtitles or file names.
