the "-font" options has this usage:
-font <path to font.desc file> (OSD only)
Search for the OSD/SUB fonts in an alternative directory (de-
fault for normal fonts: ~/.mplayer/font/font.desc, default for
FreeType fonts: ~/.mplayer/subfont.ttf).
NOTE: With FreeType, this option determines the path to the text
font file. With fontconfig, this option determines the fontcon-
fig font name.
EXAMPLE:
-font ~/.mplayer/arial-14/font.desc
-font ~/.mplayer/arialuni.ttf
-font 'Bitstream Vera Sans'
at install, the package put
font=/usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont/FreeSans.ttf
into /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf , on your behalf
when MPlayer starts it warns that the chosen font is not
a bitmap font ... indeed it is not , it is a ttf.
This is annoyning, we will fix it in the future, but it
is not a bug
if you try using OSD, you will see that it works, thoug
(just hit "o" to show the running time, or "v" to disable
subtitles)
