#24 Subfont installer does no work

[Yann Broly]

It seems that the subfont installer doesn't install the
required font for subtitles encoding (well, on my G4
anyway) ...

For those interested, just DL MPlayerOSX2beta4.sit from
sourceforge, "right" click on the application, choose "open
application contents", open "Contents" folder, "Resources"
then "Fonts", rename the font "Tex Sans.ttf" into
"subfont.ttf" and put it in the invisible folder Home/.mplayer
...

now it work FINE :-)

note : you can easily see invisible files with the useful
"Tinker tools" found here : http://www.bresink.de/osx/

For full informations for installing mplayer & FFmpegX go to

Thanks for that GREAT DVDibbler, KJ :-))

Yep, sorry about that. Seems Subfont installer does not always do
its job. Will try to include subfont.ttf in the DVBinaries installer
utility (perhaps with new MEncoder and MPlayer binaries, if they
prove stable).

I did what you recomended but still cannot get it to rip the subtitle
tracks off of a dvd... Any advice?

you can download the font subfont.ttf from sourceforge (though i
couldn't do it in safari, had to use IE and hit option return on the
link to force download). then search from finder for "mplayer"
whose visibility is OFF, and it will show you the invisible mplayer
folder. drop subfont.ttf into there and it works fine, at least for
me.
