hello.

awesome work adding ttf subtitle support!  thanks!  i still have a 4:3 tv and when i watch letterboxed movies, the subs are very legible when they appear in the black border.  on fullscreen movies, though, the subs are are more difficult to read that the old default "arial-iso-8859-1" subs.  the semi outline you added helps, but it would be nice if we could choose the thickness of the font outline. maybe "light", "medium" and "heavy", with "heavy" being like that old style default subs.  also, i wish that the yellow subtitles were "more" yellow, if you know what i mean.  

thanks again for all of your hard work,
kevin sartori

i have the same problem... i used the arial based unicode font from windows and the xbox lag everytime there is a lot of chinese characters on the screen (traditional or simplified)

i can hear the xbox hard disk thrashing when there are lots of files listed on the screen.

i switched to a tsc unicode font (check alan wood's excellent page on the subject)... the file is smaller, and the lag is noticeably less.

it seems the japanese filename hv display problem
some of them cannot be display (dvdr/hdd)
and the remote control stop working when in my video/my files

[yuvalt]

1. please be more specific with your problem and open a problem in sourceforge (see above).
2. the remote control issues relate to the fact the displaying the ttf fonts takes more time hence remote events are lost. we are looking for a fix for this.

hello.

i added a formal bug report to sourceforge regarding ttf subtitle outline thickness and yellow subtitle vibrancy. i would have done this initially, but i thought this issue was in sort of a discussion phase here. i apologize.

[Striker]

tnx for posting to sf, i wnated to do it too cause i think the outline is not thick enough either.
on light backgrounds it looks rather bad, and the old fonts were much better too read.

jmarshall just committed a fix for this. please test.

i'm testing it now. so far, the patch works great, subs can be read at ease without straining eyes but there's another problem. in one mkv file i've tested on, the long part of the sub that should be displayed in two rows, appeared in just one row, making left and right part of the sub went off-screen. using normal mplayer fonts didn't contribute to this bug and worked fine as before. i'll continue testing more files to confirm whether it's mkv/ogm-wide or just on this one particular file.

[jmarshall]

that is possibly because you are using a too large a font.

i believe that mplayer may split the lines up, but i haven't looked into the mplayer code. it may be that mplayer is splitting it for us, but is using the wrong sized font to calculate the split perhaps. either that, or it isn't splitting them at all (more likely). note that strictly speaking, we shouldn't have to split fonts up as they should already be done in the file. ofcourse, they're designed for a certain sized font, and if you use a different size, then you get this problem.

i noticed this once using a size 36 font, but that was kinda overkill :p

please look at the particular sub in question and see just how many characters are being cut off.

thanks,
jonathan

[emefbiemef]

i was using arial font with size at 24 and bold setting. not too overkill, i hope?  :d about the sub, the portions (for both left and right side) that were being cut-off are quite large, since it was meant for multiple row (about 13 words in two rows). i'd say about 5-8 words or more.
