I have been trying to see movies with .srt subtiles in utf-8 but gmaplyer it simply doest displays correct the characters that have accents like ã, ã, ẽ, é, etc, instead it just shows a ? but upside down.

You wrote about gmplayer, but what about mplayer? Also check your ~/.mplayer/subfont.tff. Set it as symlink to DejaVuSans.ttf, or any other appropriate Unicode font.

The only way so far to see subtitles correctly is to converting them from utf-8 into iso-8859-15. ... Im using mplayer svn release 24992

24907 here, but UTF-8 subtitles have been working for some years. Check your font. Vit
