[MPlayer-dev-eng] subfont aspect

Does freetype support rendering fonts with nonsquare pixels? If so, we
really should add aspect correction to the font loader. Right now
fonts look fat and idiotic with dvd's where 720x480 gets scaled to
854x480, and they look really tall and thin with -vop halfpack. It
should be possible to solve this problem just by passing
dwidth/dheight to the font generator and comparing them to movie
width/height, but I don't know anything about freetype.
