|

330 |
|
---|
331 | <para>The recommended method to set up a font for
|
---|
332 | <application>MPlayer</application> is to link a TTF file to
|
---|
333 | your <filename class="directory">~/.mplayer</filename> directory. A link
|
---|
334 | should be created in each user's home directory who may use
|
---|
335 | <application>MPlayer</application>. For example:</para>
|
---|
336 |
|
---|
337 | <screen><userinput>install -v -m750 -d ~/.mplayer &&
|
---|
338 | ln -v -sf /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/luxisri.ttf \
|
---|
339 | ~/.mplayer/subfont.ttf</userinput></screen>
|
---|
340 |
|
---|
341 | <para>There are several other ways to set up a font package. To use a
|
---|
342 | prerendered <application>MPlayer</application> font package, extract
|
---|
343 | and link one of the font tarballs using the following commands:</para>
|
---|
344 |
|
---|
345 | <screen role="root"><userinput>tar -jvxf ../&mplayer-font;.tar.bz2 \
|
---|
346 | -C /usr/share/mplayer/font &&
|
---|
347 | chown -v -R root:root /usr/share/mplayer/font &&
|
---|
348 | cd /usr/share/mplayer/font &&
|
---|
349 | ln -v -sf &mplayer-font;/font-arial-<replaceable>[font size]</replaceable>-iso-8859-1/* .</userinput></screen>
|
---|
350 |
|
---|
351 | <para>Available font sizes are 14, 18, 24 or 28.</para>
