[MPlayer-users] No subtitles in gmplayer under Suse10.2

[Ed Vaessen]

Well, it only seems to make the difference for what is on top of (above)
the movie when I press the "o" key, what produces messages about OSD or
gives a counter there. The font of these message changes according to my
choice.
But there are no subtitles below the movie.
Xine gives them.
