ok, so i got two problems, first of all I have a serious issue with my subtitles, they work only in Xine and VLC player (while I prefure Totem-xine or Kaffine) and even when they do play, they dont show the translation, only squares and signs... this is probably due to fonts but i am 100% sure that i got all the font installed, after all my entire OS supports hebrew, only the movie subs dont. My second problem is with the keyboard/Mouse, my mouse buttons 4-5 and keyboard button launch Excel and Launch word being accepted by Ubuntu, i want to bind the excep and word buttons to my own programs, and use the mousebuttons in general gaming, both in wine and regular, so how do I activate and bind them?

thanks in advance

Hi.

I'm also having problems with Hebrew subtitles. However, I did find a solution that works for Mplayer. It's in this HowTo:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/He...alizationHowto

The solution is for Ubuntu. Should only be a question of file locations for other distros.

The part about Subtitles reads:

1. Install the "Tahoma" font (if you already installed the "msttcorefonts" package, then you don't need this part)

cd /usr/share/fonts/truetype
sudo mkdir ttf-win32
cd ttf-win32
sudo cp /mnt/hda1/windows/Fonts/tahoma* #(or wherever your tahoma font is at)
sudo fc-cache -v

2. make a symbolic link to tahoma.ttf in ~/.mplayer:

cd ~/.mplayer
ln -s /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-win32/tahoma.ttf subfont.ttf

*

Note: If you installed msttcorefonts, then the tahoma.ttf file might somewhere else, to find where it is run:

find /usr/share/fonts/truetype -iname 'tahoma.ttf'

3. add these two lines to ~/.mplayer/config:

subfont-encoding="ISO8859-8"
font="Tahoma"
