Indeed, that need the output message to judge, you can add '-v' to
mplayer command line to get a more detail output and post here. The
same ttf file you metioned works for me, so probably it's your build
of mplayer's problem, such as, compiled with no freetype supported or
bad version... So, also check your configure.log, to see the freetype
part and post it here.
