mplayer subfont.ttf

[Nightcat]

OK! I give up. Just spent nearly 2 hours trying to sort this .......................................... out.

Tried the stuff advised on the website, tried most of the things advised on the web, but nothing works.

1. I can not find .ttf files. I found one discussion, where the possible path given, worked, but can't find it now. Although, I did copy one of the files to the ~/.mplayer directory

2. Where can I fnd a config file for that .................................................. ........... program? I am a bit new to Linux.

Got to go to work tomorrow, so need to get some sleep

All what do have to do is the following:

ln -sv /usr/X11R6/lib/fonts/TTF/Saab.ttf subfont.ttf

or you can select another font from that directory.

hope this help.

Thanks for your reply

The problem was as I said that I didn't remember the folder where the fonts were kept And as I was using "find" to search for them, it didn't give me much results either.

But all is sorted now

Hi,
Wot did you do to get rid of the annoying little problem as I tried the cli above but did not work for me ?

I'm sorry i forgot something


ln -sv /usr/X11R6/lib/fonts/TTF/Saab.ttf /home/(your user name)/.mplayer/subfont.ttf

Sorry but that didn't work for me - so I tried another way.
I simply went to the directory with the subfont.ttf - copied another font in to it and renamed it to subfont.ttf.

If you have a grafical interface, go into options.

There you have an option of setting a font, browse to this folder
" /usr/X11R6/lib/fonts/TTF"
and pick the font you like

That's the simplest way.
