Is mplayer compiled with freetype support?
If I try to play a file with subtitles, they are huge. I want to scale them with the option -subfont-
The docs say this happens if mplayer was compiled without freetype support.
Is there an alternative package with freetype support compiled in?

Hi
I don't know but in MPlayer i right-click in the screen area showing the movie or whatever and choose "Preferences", then click on the "Font" tab and adjust the "text-scale" slider right down to very close to the left-hand side. On my screen the setting shows 4.29 is plenty large enough, more than that is too much.
I hope this helps!
Good luck and regards from
Tom :)

Hi, thanks for the suggestion. I tried right click but it does nothing for me.
Actually, the reason I wanted it was so that I could embed the subtitles into the video with mencoder. But it turnout out that when I did that, the subtitles were smaller anyway. And now, when I view the original, the subtitles are smaller as well.
So I guess I don't really have an answer to my question. But my immediate problem has resolved itself anyway.

Brilliant, i think ? ;) :)))
Glad it's all fixed anyway.
I tend to prefer having the subtitles separate as "srt" files so they can be edited or translated using a simple text-editor. I think i installed a few things using a search in synaptic package manager

Perhaps yu might find a few useful things in there too?
Good luck and regards again from
Tom :)
