I had installed VLC 1.1.4 in ubuntu 10.04 via a PPA. After I installed it, I have not been able to view subtitles after loading it. It appears as a rectangle in place of text.
How can I fix this?

Is it a single rectangle where the text should be or a series of letter sized rectangles?
If it is multiple rectangles then you probably are missing a font with the proper glyphs for the language you are trying to view. Look in Preferences ➔ Subtitles & OSD and report the Encoding and Font Selected.
For example if
ဆဌဗရယမဝဪappears as rectanlges and not the prettiest letterforms on the planet (Mayanmar) then you don't have Unicode support in your font. (I don't know Mayanmar so those are random glyphs, my apologies if they say something rude.)
