Need Mplayer Font

FredGSanford · 02-04-2006, 02:47 AM

When i install my mplayer with gui successfully and when i type gmplayer i get a error subfont.ttf not found. I don't have it installed anyplace, I did locate subfont.ttf and it is not found.

How can I get it installed?

Thnx.

See the mplayer documentation, step 5. Basically you can use any simple ttf file and copy it to ~/.mplayer/subfont.ttf

Thanks for the reply. Your answer seems to have fixed the font problem, but now when I run mplayer the screen opens but the controls window not showing up. The one normally below the view screen.

Any suggestions on fixing this?

Google is your friend. I'm not an mplayer user myself but I turned up a couple of Google hits that might help you. The first is here on LinuxQuestions, the second here.

I looked at those links and still haven't gotten it to work. I'll keep looking into this.

Thnx.

Well I thought I had it fixed but it seems not. I wrote something else but its not fix. Still no Control Window.

'Fraid I can't help any more, Fred - as I said above, I don't use mplayer myself. Why not try a different DVD player - Kaffeine, maybe?
