Depends on what kind of font renderer is being used - if you have
Xft support - it should be able to open font with XLFD specification -
but if you have just only normal Xm/X Font function they
need to get the font name in standard form:

-adobe-*-*-r-normal-*-20-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-2

(i.e. you may try to put this into your ~/.avm/default 
subtitle_font)

As I said it's a bit complicated and I'd like to give users chance
to select True Types fonts in Qt3 way - which means some 
modification are necessary - and meanwhile it will be
somewhare broken.

Also you should be able to select such 'non-ttf' fonts also
from Qt dialog - as they usually tend to have [Xft],[Freefont],[Monotype]
appended to their name.

So as a temproral solution put the font name into the configfile
yourself - I hope it will work next week properly.
