351 other packages can link to. This requires
352 <application>MPlayer</application>
353 to link dynamically to this library instead of the default statically

355 <option>--enable-shared-pp</option> and
356 <option>--disable-fastmemcpy</option> to the <command>configure</command>
357 script. The <option>--disable-fastmemcpy</option> parameter is required to

386 If so, you may wish to create a symlink to this library in case other
387 packages link to <filename class='libraryfile'>libdha.so</filename>. Use

399 create the file using the following command.</para>

421 <para>The recommended method to set up a font for
422 <application>MPlayer</application> is to link a TTF file to
423 your <filename class="directory">~/.mplayer</filename> directory. A link
424 should be created in each user's home directory who may use
425 <application>MPlayer</application>. For example:</para>

430
431 <para>There are several other ways to set up a font package. To use a
