mplayer crashes after awhile in Kubuntu 3.10
 
Guess the crashes are to be expected with breezy - also prompted with this error msg. at startup:

New_Face failed.Maybe the font path is wrong.
please supply the text file
~/.mplayer/subfont.ttf

Anybody had any success fixin' any of these issues?

Anyone running Kubuntu 3.10 had any luck with other players?

Hi,
when compiled is with --enable-menu
you have to make a link to any true type font like this
this is only an example but will work if you have luxisri.ttf installed
at this location
otherwise adjust
Code:

mkdir ~/.mplayer
ln -sf /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/luxisri.ttf  ~/.mplayer/subfont.ttf
