Thank you, guys!

Are you talking about subtitles or the osd? I don't have subtitels to test, but the osd is still broken. This is what the output looks like:

[ass] FcFreeTypeQueryFace failed

osd. i don't have subtitles too.

Copying the file like that doesn't seem to work for me. Specifically the OSD play icon is still broken and the [ass] error still comes up from the mplayer output.

You mean, where you used to see the "play" icon your now see the three dots (contrast?) icon? That's what I see. This "copy file" fix certainly helps, but doesn't appear to be perfect...

What I see is a square box (like a National Geographic logo). Not three dots.

Re: mplayer2 and fontconfig-2.10.92-4

Did you save the font as /usr/share/fonts/<dir>/osd_font.pfb, just like I suggested above? If you did, then you should see something like in the screenshot from my mplayer2 running. All other symbols (~13 altogether) are displayed correctly, too…

Yes, your fix works 100% correctly. To clarify:

rkreis's suggestion is mostly a fix. (what I was using)

bohoomil's suggestion is a complete fix. (what I'm now using)

Re: mplayer2 and fontconfig-2.10.92-4

While the trick with the PFB font didn't work for me, using the OTF font actually did it. I didn't even have to rebuild mplayer2 (just mkfontdir/mkfontscale/fc-cache).
Here it is, from sl1pkn07 PKGBUILD : https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/659 … d_font.otf

Re: mplayer2 and fontconfig-2.10.92-4

It might have not worked if your font policy rejects T1 fonts.

Re: mplayer2 and fontconfig-2.10.92-4

You can probably avoid touching system directories this way:

mkdir -p ~/.fonts/OSD
wget -O ~/.fonts/OSD/osd_font.pfb 'http://git.mplayer2.org/mplayer2/plain/sub/osd_font.pfb?id=9d6b188'
fc-cache -f -v ~/.fonts

That worked for me at least. smile

Of course it did -- this location is still available. Just in case, don't forget about the $XDG_DATA_HOME/fonts || $HOME/.local/share/fonts which will eventually replace it.

Re: mplayer2 and fontconfig-2.10.92-4

This of course goes for mpv too;
wm4's commit to mpv
Built from git via PKGBUILD from the AUR a few moments ago, the OSD shows glyphs correctly - that were previously missing. No intervention/hackery on my part of any kind, re: fixes in this thread.

Re: mplayer2 and fontconfig-2.10.92-4

Well, there is still a bug in fontconfig. So saying "fixed" is not fully correct. Any other situation where PostScript fonts from memory are being used are still broken.

On the other hand, this thread is about mplayer2, and here the issue is indeed "fixed" by changing the format of the font into one that does not trigger the fontconfig bug.

Re: mplayer2 and fontconfig-2.10.92-4

They converted the font to OTF. Here's a copy&paste to fix this issue:

cd /usr/share/fonts/OTF
sudo wget -O mplayer2_osd_font.otf http://git.mplayer2.org/mplayer2/plain/sub/osd_font.otf
sudo fc-cache -f -v

You can delete /usr/share/fonts/OTF/mplayer2_osd_font.otf once the fix comes to Arch repos.
