mplayer的"Cannot prepare subtitle font"解决办法。

汤泡饭

我的debian etch系统，apt的mplayer，使用一直都很不正常，每次打开都会弹出"Cannot prepare subtitle font"的错误提示，播放任何文件就不停地弹出对话框，很是无奈。
去G了一下，看到一篇文章里好像提到有这个现象。

it's not the problem of locale setting at all.
in mdv 2007', the default setting on 'fontconfig' of mplayer.conf in /etc/mplayer/ is yes. however the documentation tells us :
'If MPlayer was compiled with fontconfig support, the above methods
won't work, instead -font expects a fontconfig font name and defaults
to the sans-serif font. ...'
(
http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/fonts-osd.html
)
so it's quite possiblely just the problem of this default setting.
in my own experience,at first i also got lots of following warning:
  Selected font is not scalable. Using ppem=15.
  FT_Set_Pixel_Sizes failed.
  Wrong bounding box, width
  Cannot prepare subtitle font.
even if i had specified the font in the .conf file or in command line.
when i disable the setting of 'fontconfig=yes' in the .conf ,there is no more 'using ppem=15' warning at all.

似乎这个问题和fontconfig有关系，vim /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf，将fontconfig = yes  --->no，现在使用一切正常。
