    For what it's worth, here is a brief summary on getting Hebrew subtitles work in AspireOne's VLC player (installed from livna repository):
    1. Copy some hebrew TTF font (e.g. nrkis.ttf) from your Windows PC to /usr/share/fonts
    2. In VLC player go to Settings -> Preferences -> Video -> Subtitles/OSD -> Text Renderer and change Font to the path of newly installed font (e.g. /usr/share/fonts/nrkis.ttf)
    3. In VLC player go to Settings -> Preferences -> Input/Codecs -> Other codecs -> Subtitles and change Subtitles text encoding to ISO-8859-8
    4. Restart VLC player to activate the new settings
