media-video/mplayer-1.0_pre20060810 has broken TrueType font rendering - it doesn't show OSD or subtitles at all - version 1.0_pre8-r1 works ok. Snapshot doesn't recognize subfont-* options in config too. mplayer's config: subcp=cp1250 subfont-autoscale=0 subfont-osd-scale=10 sub-bg-alpha=250 subfont-text-scale=36 subfont-text-scale=24 subfont-text-scale=16 font=/usr/share/fonts/corefonts/verdana.ttf emerge --info: Portage 2.1.1_pre5 (default-linux/x86/2006.0, gcc-4.1.1/vanilla, glibc-2.4-r3, 2.6.18-rc4-ck1 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.18-rc4-ck1 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.73GHz Gentoo Base System version 1.12.4 Last Sync: Sat, 12 Aug 2006 11:30:09 +0000 ccache version 2.4 [enabled] app-admin/eselect-compiler: 2.0.0_rc2-r1 dev-lang/python: 2.4.3-r1 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 dev-util/ccache: 2.4-r2 dev-util/confcache: [Not Present] sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.60 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.17 sys-devel/gcc-config: [Not Present] sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.17 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=pentium-m -O2 -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/eselect/compiler /etc/gconf /etc/java-config/vms/ /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/web2c" CXXFLAGS="-march=pentium-m -O2 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="" FEATURES="autoconfig ccache cvs distlocks java-strict metadata-transfer noinfo sandbox sfperms sign" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.prz.rzeszow.pl http://ftp.heanet.ie/pub/gentoo/ http://distfiles.gentoo.org" INSTALL_MASK="/usr/share/gtk-doc/" LINGUAS="" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude='/distfiles' --exclude='/local' --exclude='/packages'" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/home/nelchael/overlays/nelchael /home/nelchael/overlays/java/migrated-java-experimental-overlay /home/nelchael/overlays/java/java-experimental-overlay" SYNC="rsync://rsync.europe.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 X alsa apm avi bash-completion berkdb bitmap-fonts bzip2 cairo cli crypt cups dlloader dri elibc_glibc emboss firefox foomaticdb fortran gdbm gstreamer gtk2 imlib input_devices_keyboard input_devices_mouse input_devices_synaptics ipv6 isdnlog java5 jpeg kde kdeenablefinal kdehiddenvisibility kernel_linux libg++ libwww mad mikmod mmx mmxext mp3 mpeg musepack ncurses nls nptl nsplugin offensive ogg opengl pam pcre pdflib png pppd qt4 quicktime readline reflection session spl sse sse2 ssl svg syslog truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev userland_GNU video_cards_i810 vorbis xinerama xml xml2 xorg xscreensaver xv zlib" Unset: CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
Have you tried w/ USE="iconv"?
Yes: nelchael@nelchael ~$ cat /etc/portage/package.use/other | grep player | sed -e 's/\t/ /g' media-video/mplayer win32codecs fbcon rtc dvd theora aac encode iconv net-www/mplayerplug-in gtk nelchael@nelchael ~$
I've had the same. Then I've added iconv to USE. Recompiled, still no good, but noticed that at configure step mplayer still doesnt see iconv. Removed confcache from FEATURES and tried again. Its gold now.
I think you are missing unicode
I can't reproduce it anymore with media-video/mplayer-1.0_rc1-r1
