Hello,

Yes, with:
-embeddedfonts (FreeType only)
              Enables extraction of Matroska embedded fonts (default: 
disabled).  These fonts can be  used  for  SSA/ASS  subtitle  rendering
              (-ass option).  Font files are created in the 
~/.mplayer/fonts directory.
              NOTE: With FontConfig 2.4.2 or newer, embedded fonts are 
opened directly from memory, and this option is enabled by default


Best wisher, Phil
