That's hardly a solution, because an RPM package cannot install anything
in users' home directories.

We'd have to investigate whether MPlayer also looks up a font in a
shared directory first (e.g. /usr/share/MPlayer/fonts) and if not, we'd
have to patch it to make it do so.

After some source code reading... actually, it does so, in
/usr/share/mplayer/subfont.ttf

We'll investigate and build a new release that fixes the issue.

Thanks for reporting.

cheers
