readme: Add VLC subtitle font known issue
VLC assumes (reasonably) the default sans-serif system font has a full
character set. The result on Linux, when Emoji One Color is the default
font, is that all titles/subtitles appear as missing/error characters.
The solution is to specifically select any other font for subtitles in VLC.
Click Tools menu
Click Preferences option
Click Subtitles / OSD button/tab
Subtitle effects section, select a font
Save.
