As far as I remember, because this was considered obsolete compared to using
vectorial fonts through FreeType. I think this makes sense: anyone,
nowadays, has lots of TrueType and OpenTYpe fonts on his hard drive, while
these bitmaps fonts had to be installed specifically for mplayer.
Furthermore, using FreeType not much work; I count about 60 lines of code
for the font rendering in my old fcbanner program: loading a custom bitmap
format would require almost as much.
