441 <title>OSD and Subtitles Font Installation (Required if '--enable-menu' Was
442 Passed to 'configure')</title>
443
444 <para>The recommended method to set up a font for
445 <application>MPlayer</application> is to link a TTF file to
446 your <filename class="directory">~/.mplayer</filename> directory. A link
447 should be created in each user's home directory who may use
448 <application>MPlayer</application>. For example:</para>
449
450<screen><userinput>install -v -m750 -d ~/.mplayer &amp;&amp;
451ln -v -sf /usr/share/fonts/X11-TTF/luxisri.ttf \
452 ~/.mplayer/subfont.ttf</userinput></screen>
453
454 <para>There are several other ways to set up a font package. To use a
455 prerendered <application>MPlayer</application> font package, extract
456 and link one of the font tarballs using the following commands:</para>
457
458<screen role="root"><userinput>tar -xvf ../&mplayer-font;.tar.bz2 \
459 -C /usr/share/mplayer/font &amp;&amp;
460chown -v -R root:root /usr/share/mplayer/font &amp;&amp;
461cd /usr/share/mplayer/font &amp;&amp;
462ln -v -sf &mplayer-font;/font-arial-<replaceable>&lt;font size&gt;</replaceable>-iso-8859-1/* .</userinput></screen>
463
464 <para>Available font sizes are 14, 18, 24 or 28.</para>
465
466 <para>Additional information as well as additional methods to set up an
467 <application>MPlayer</application> font package can be found at <ulink

477 <title>Installation for DVD Playback (Optional)</title>
478
479 <para>If you want DVD playback with <application>MPlayer</application>,
480 you need to ensure a link exists between your DVD drive and
481 <filename>/dev/dvd</filename>. This process is described in the
482 <ulink url="&lfs-root;/chapter07/symlinks.html">Creating custom
483 symlinks to devices</ulink> section in LFS. The user must be part
484 of the <systemitem class="groupname">cdrom</systemitem> group in
485 order to use the device.</para>

513 <para>Typically, there's no configuration required for the system-wide
514 files in <filename class='directory'>/etc/mplayer</filename> (in fact,
515 this directory is empty unless you copied the default files as mentioned
516 above). Configuration can be accomplished by choosing the configuration
517 button located on the <application>MPlayer</application> GUI. Any
518 configuration changes made here will be copied to the user's
519 <filename class='directory'>~/.mplayer</filename> directory.</para>
