I haven't found out how to get mplayer show internal subtitles. I got some nice episodes of Kenshin and Evangelion (zx releases in ogg media .ogm and matroska .mkv container) that plays almost perfectly in all respects, except that I get no subs. I used pacman -S mplayer, and let it install all deps, and also tried to set the font path, but nothing works.
Media Player Classic gives me subs automatically, and I expected mplayer to work the same way.
