Reproduction Steps
Run mpv via e.g. mpv --no-config --include=mpv.conf --input-conf=input.conf -- あ.mkv. Repeatedly cycle the OSC, and the OSD font will change from what is set in mpv.conf (Liberation Mono, which probably contains only ASCII characters) to a fallback font (in my case Noto Sans CJK). If I rename あ.mkv to a.mkv, the problem does not seem to occur.
Example video of the bug where I repeatedly cycle the OSC, notice the OSD font changing:

Expected Behavior
The OSD font should never change from what is set in mpv.conf.
Actual Behavior
The OSD font varies.
Log File
Sample Files
I carefully read all instruction and confirm that I did the following:
- I tested with the latest mpv version to validate that the issue is not already fixed.
- I provided all required information including system and mpv version.
- I produced the log file with the exact same set of files, parameters, and conditions used in "Reproduction Steps", with the addition of
--log-file=output.txt. - I produced the log file while the behaviors described in "Actual Behavior" were actively observed.
- I attached the full, untruncated log file.
- I attached the backtrace in the case of a crash.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with the supplied mpv.conf and input.conf, using a filename containing あ, and inspect mpv.log while repeatedly cycling the OSC. Compare the configured Liberation Mono font with the fallback behavior; done means the OSD font remains stable regardless of the media filename.
