[MPlayer-dev-eng] regression in pre6 with -font

[Nicolas Pomarede]

Hello,

I previously used the 0.90 pre5 version and used the following line in my
~/.mplayer/config :

font = /usr/local/share/mplayer/font/iso-8859-1/arial-28/font.desc


When running mplayer pre6, I now get the following error :

My fonts are installed in /usr/local/share/mplayer/font :

ll /usr/local/share/mplayer/font

What's strange is that at first we have :

Font /usr/local/share/mplayer/font/iso-8859-1/arial-28/font.desc loaded
successfully! (206 chars)

and after that :
font: can't open file: /usr/local/share/mplayer/font/font.desc
Can't load font:/usr/local/share/mplayer/font/iso-8859-1/arial-28/font.desc
font: can't open file: /usr/local/share/mplayer/font/font.desc
Can't load font:/usr/local/share/mplayer/font/iso-8859-1/arial-28/font.desc


mplayer seems to try the default font.desc in the install dir
(font/font.desc), which doesn't exist on my machine, but furthermore, it
says it can't load
/usr/local/share/mplayer/font/iso-8859-1/arial-28/font.desc (while it was
loaded succesfully just before).

This problem occurs when running mplayer with the gui (gmplayer), but it
also occurs (more randomly) when running the plain command line mplayer.

In order to suppress these messages, the only solution I found was to copy
all the files in arial-28/ into /usr/local/share/mplayer/font/.
This create some default font files, but the -font switch become useless
in that case.
This problem didn't occur in all the previous mplayer version I used.

Note that despite these messages, the font seems to be loaded, since I can
display the OSD time counter when pressing 'o'.

Hope you can fix this before the 1.0 release.

bye
