don’t find bug report system, so im try write here…
fontconfig dont catch fonts installed without copy to system folder. it’ easy reproduce:
1. when installing new font, remove checkbox “Copy fonts to Fonts folder”
2. for check is font linked – open CPL->Font and you see this font icon with small link.
3. for test try mplayer -ass-force-style “Fontname=NEWFONT” … for force use new font

PS sorry for my english :/

yea, really looking forward to the font cache bugfix… in the meantime, is CoreAVC supported with the current build? MPlayer crashes every time I try to use it.

Please release a build with fixed font cache regenerating problem. It’s really annoying and taking a lot of time :)

Hi,
Thanks for compiling MPlayer for us all. Would it be possible to change the use of ANSI escape codes (the -term-osd-esc flag) to using the Console API to move the cursor position? That’s what Wikipedia ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code ) says should be used. There’s a reference to MSDN there and ANSI.DLL from http://adoxa.110mb.com/ansicon/ provides an example. I would offer a patch, but my programming skills are not all that good. I know it is a minor problem, but it annoys me when I see it happen. I think it is the only use of escape codes in MPlayer.

Thanks again,
Ian

I don’t know whether it is bug.
Mplayer can not play .pss file, which is contained in all PS2 game disks.
The .pss file, such as .mpg, contains mpeg2 video and Sony PS2 ADPCM audio.

Sorry, the words of subtitles is coded by UTF-8.
The problem is not the words displaying wrong, it’s about the font edge。

I’m using NTFS and I was dragging the clip onto mplayer.
And… I’m using SimpChin system…

The problem now is not the languages, it’s about the output video stream.
In WMP11, normal. But bad in MPC and MPlayer.

I can send some snapshots to your email box.

You have to specifically set a codepage with -subcp, or convert the file to UTF-8, or convert them to ASS format (which is UTF-8 by spec IIRC).

You have to be on a Japanese locale to play that using that commandline.

Due to a bug in mingw, its implementation/mapping of standard C functions and some POSIX ones use Windows’ ASCII functions, not the unicode ones. That way, mplayer can’t open the filename since it uses unicode characters. Using the unicode functions wouldn’t be a simple conversion because windows uses wide characters to implement unicode (and is the only mainstream OS to do so), instead of the variable-width, ASCII compatible UTF-8 that Linux, MacOS and most of the internet use. We really need to get japanese sites to stop using EUC-JP/Shift-JIS :)

SMPlayer workarounds that limitation by using 8.3 filenames, but those aren’t always available.
