Mplayer font problem
Whenever I load mplayer, i get this error... it says... New_Face failed. Maybe the font path is wrong. Please supply the text fone file (~/.mplayer/subfont.ttf)... I installed the one western font by putting it into /usr/local/share/mplayer/font/default... could someone point me into the right direction? thanks alot

Apparently mplayer is looking for the fonts in ~/.mplayer so I'd put the font there. See if you have subfont.ttf by doing:
locate subfont.ttf If you have it copy it to the mplayer directory: cp subfont.ttf ~/.mplayer That should do the trick. Just give Mplayer what it wants. |
I cant seem to locate subfont.ttf... nothing happens when I type that in... where can I get it? thanks

I've struggled through this twice now, so I must be an expert. At any rate, enter this command (from the MPlayer documentation BTW) and it should fix your problem:
ln -s /path/to/sample_font.ttf ~/.mplayer/subfont.ttf In my case, my truetype fonts are located in /usr/X11R6/X11/fonts/truetype, so thats what I substituted for the "/path/to/sample_font.ttf" in the command above. |
mplayer font error
I had the same problem in Ubuntu you need to install separate fonts to solve the problem !!!:scratch:
After installing mplayer, install the fonts with this command: # sudo apt-get install mplayer-fonts if you can not sudo then log as root and type: $ apt-get install mplayer-fonts references : http://www.ubuntuguide.org/ |
