I cannot reproduce this. A command line like
mplayer -fontconfig -font FreeMono
produces no error message, while
mplayer -font Vera.ttf
gives a segmentation fault. Hmmmmmm. And
mplayer -font ./Vera.ttf
produces the following error message
./Vera.ttf doesn't look like a font description, ignoring.
Cannot load font: ./Vera.ttf
which is indeed annoying and confusing as the font works without flaw.
So while a patch to get rid of the above misleading error message would
be most welcome, I don't see what your patch fixes.
