Some stand-alone players base their menus for in-band captions (e.g. in DVD or Matroska) on the language information, but are there any that do anything at all with metadata in external files? Last I checked, at most there was a global font setting, nothing like automatic font switching based on language/script, most likely because this information simply does not exist in the widely used formats. -- Philip Jägenstedt Core Developer Opera Software
