I thought this was a simple error in the ebuild. The font-arial thing was listed twice in the SRC_URI variable. So I removed one. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run ebuild /usr/portage/media-video/mplayer/mplayer-0.92 fetch 2.

http://mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/fonts/font-arial-iso-8859-2.tar.bz2 works here
If you "rm -r -f /usr/portage/distfiles/" and then try to fetch it does it still work?
I've now downloaded the font-arial file into my /usr/portage/distfiles directory and it doesn't make any difference. The ebuild wants to try to download it anyways, which leads to an error: root@sidicpc22 mplayer # ebuild mplayer-0.92.ebuild fetch >>> Resuming download... >>> Downloading http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu/distfiles/font-arial-iso-8859-2.tar.bz2 --02:12:41-- http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu/distfiles/font-arial-iso-8859-2.tar.bz2 => `/usr/portage/distfiles/font-arial-iso-8859-2.tar.bz2' Resolving gentoo.oregonstate.edu... done.
