installing font in mplayer
here is an except from the README file for installing mplayer
STEP5: Installing the onscreen display fonts ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Unpack the archive and choose one of the available font sizes. Then copy the font files of the corresponding size into /usr/local/share/mplayer/font/ or ~/.mplayer/font/ (or whatever you set with './configure --datadir=DIR'). I did the following command #mv font-arial-18-iso-8859-1 /usr/local/share/mplayer/font/ which leaves me with this directory /usr/local/share/mplayer/font/font-arial-18-iso-8859-1 I am getting this error when I run gmplayer New_Face failed. Maybe the font path is wrong. Please supply the text font file (~/.mplayer/subfont.ttf). subtitle font: load_sub_face failed |
I wrote this question yesterday, only two people looked at it, So I am going to try bumping it

I did not have those fonts but I did try linking the fonts that I downloaded from the mplayer sight. still did not work
thanks for your advice |
