Hello to all.
I have added ability to choose CP1250 subtitle encoding to MPlayer's GUI. All
across ex Yugoslavia most subtitles are in Windows-1250 format (and there are
even some old subtitles in JUS_I.B1.002; I would add it too but it cannot be
used without some larger changes to MP's way of converting subtitles). As
Linux is gaining popularity here (and I can tell that a computer magazine
here recently reviewed MPlayer) it will be needed to users here. I have only
patched english help file though I guess with a patch as simple as this even
I could do it for other languages if it is needed ;)
Another thing I changed is iso-8859-2 font.desc in such a way that aside from
regular iso-8859-2 codes it also contains Unicode values. Even though it
might be unusual, I think that this is good solution for everyone: users
without iconv can use the font as usual (and even, I guess, with added
posibility of using UTF-8 subtitles directly) while users with iconv can use
it as if it is an Unicode font as long as their subtitles have only
characters that exist in iso-8859-2, which would probably be the case with
any subtitle in their language. Otherwise, subtitle conversion was unusable
with these fonts. If you think that this solution is OK I could do the same
with other font sizes.
