Package: mplayer
Version: 2:1.3.0-8+b4
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

Updated from Debian Jessie to Debian Buster.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

I played a video file with subtitles. I toggled internal setting such as audio and subtitle track.

   * What was the outcome of this action?

Both the subtitles and the OSD that displays track changes were almost unreadable.
Screenshot available at: https://gnu.moe/fb.png

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

I expected clear text like before.

As you probably know, mplayer has quite a lot of dependencies. On irc people instructed me to use `which-pkg-broke` but that proved quite useless since it lists 261 packages as the possible cause.

Before I though this problem was only on experimental since that's what some of my other machines are running but I just now made a completely clean netinst on this machine without any desktop.
After the install I installed mplayer.
I tested a video file with subtitles and the subtitles worked fine.
Next I updated to Buster (testing).
I tested the same file as before but this time the subtitles looked like in the screenshot I linked earlier.
