the colors are off you say? does -vf swapuv make it look right?
is red/blue switched?

otherwise... figure outwhat colorspace gl2 is using from mplayer output, like:

VO: [gl2] 320x240 => 320x240 BGR 24-bit

then use -vo directx -vf format=bgr24

i reccomend -vf format=yv12 or yuy2 tho, bgr24 is usually not very fast...

it could be the font cmd.exe (or whatever terminal mplayer output is in)
is using.

try switching to a non-english or font with support for non-english characters.
via the right click on the taskbar and go to properties > font.
