[Bug 360474] Re: No ASS/SSA effect with Avidemux 2.4.4 - Kubuntu 9.04

[mix]

Not sure if it helps, but hopefully it will...
I'm having this same problem. Running hardy heron and using a fresh install of the currently available Avidemux copy obtained from an everyday apt-get install. Here's the exact steps to recreate the error:

1) Open your video
2) In the video sidebar select XviD, configure your options, like bitrate or quality, etc..
3) In the video sidebar press "filters" => subtitles => ASS . 
4) After the .ass is added, you can preview but will notice that no subtitles are visible. Then, when hitting Configure to verify the settings are correct and hitting OK, you'll get something like:

SSA Error

Cannot read_file for */home/USER/Desktop/FILE.ass*

I've verified the file isn't messed up, and all the permissions are
correct. After digging around for awhile, I found that there as a
similar issue for windows users a couple years ago. Apparently the cause
of the issue in that one, which seems to be from a Avidemux
configuration file that tells it where to find the fonts to use for this
filter, was resolved for them. This might be caused by a similar issue,
but its just a guess.

Hoping someone can find a solution. :) If there's anything I can do to
help, please don't hesitate to email. Thanks!
