Good day.

Stream name has umlaut character. How to enable such characters in stream name?

Use encodeURIComponent() method to encode the stream name at client side.

How I can change the font mixer is using to get special characters in captions like ö, ä, ü ......
For example to use Dejavu Sans.

You can set the mixer font by the following parameter in flashphoner.properties file

mixer_text_font=Dejavu Sans

or in offline-mixer.json for multirecording mixer

{
  ...,
  "mixerTextFont": "Dejavu Sans"
}

Please note that the font should be installed in system and should be in the X11 fonts list

fc-list | grep X11

You should also enable characters decoding:
for mixer

mixer_decode_stream_name=true

for multirecording mixer

{
  ...,
  "mixerDecodeStreamName": true
}

I have set Dejavu Sans font and all the settings you advised for character decoding, but still, I do not have umlaut characters in the final mixer output.

This comes from the front client: 'Stefan%20v%C3%B6n%20Hubert'
But in the mixed output video, I have 'Stefan von Hubert' and not 'Stefan vön Hubert'

We tested on demo server with settings

mixer_display_stream_name=true
mixer_decode_stream_name=true
mixer_text_font=Dejavu Sans

Publishing stream with encoded characters and automatically adding it to mixer:

Playing the mixer stream

Maybe your font have no o with umlaut character. WCS does not render a font itself, it just uses a standard Java functions to draw the characters on canvas. Under the hoods, if there are no character in the font, a closer character is used.
You may try to use a default mixer font setting

mixer_text_font=Serif

or find an X11 font which includes umlaut characters, install and use it.
