[MPlayer-users] MPlayer -embeddedfonts option with ASS/SSA subtitles

[Ergzay]

I have noticed many many times users thinking that when you use ASS/SSA 
subs in mplayer they are always "unix-y" which I am betting they mean 
they are just using -ass for mkv embedded subtitles. I am wondering, 
why is there even an -enbeddedfonts option? It seems to me you would 
always want to use the embedded fonts if you are reading the subtitles 
from the mkv file. Shouldn't this be linked so that by default 
-embeddedfonts is on if you use -ass and the file is an mkv?
