So you have different subtitles with the same video resolution ? Most likely 
they have different PlayResX/PlayResY settings. Currently there is no way to 
override it in mplayer. You can extract subtitles with mkvextract and fix the 
resulting .ass file. MPlayer calculates font size as FontSize * video 
height / PlayResY.
