[MPlayer-users] Subtitles are not displayed correctly.

[Roger Krowiak]

Hi,

the problem:

	I'm encountering problem with subtitles using some slovak/czech 
characters. Most of them are displayed correctly, but there are 
exceptions: instead of 'š' (in ISO 8859-2 the hex value 0xB9) it 
displays 'ź' (0xBF), also instead of 'ž' (0xBE) there is 'ź' (0xBF). The 
character 'ý' (0xFD) is not displayed at all. Also some combination of 
characters have mixed order. For example the word 'těším' is displayed 
as 'tíźěm' - the charachter 'š' is not only wrongly displayed but the 
character-order is altered. (I hope the characters in this mail will be 
displayed correctly, I've set the mail encoding to ISO 8859-2).


what I've tried:

	This behaviour was not present in mplayer-1.0pre7, but with 
mplayer-1.0pre8 it is present. I've downloaded today (19.7.2006) the SVN 
version, but the problem is still present. I was checking the the fonts 
in ~/.mplayer/font directory. As the subtitles are encoded in CP1250, 
I've used the 'Arial - Central European (CP1250)' font pack - but the 
problem was still present. Then I've converted the subtitles from cp1250 
encoding into ISO 8859-2 (using the cstocs utility). I've copied the 
fonts from 'Arial - Central European (ISO 8859-2)' font pack, but the 
problem was the same.


what I'm using:

	I'm running Slackware-current, the kernel is 2.6.17.4 PREEMPT on AMD 
Athlon XP 3000+. The example of subtitles which are causing me the 
problems can be found at

Thank you for any help,
