It looks like any single ttf file will do, within reason. So the answer to my question is copy some ((smallish? 14pt?)) ttf to ~/.mplayer/subfont.ttf Ariel is the default. Another -question is:: is there a way to set the volume in mplayer/gmplayer before it's plugin blasts a loud and distorted stream at me? Or am I suppoesed to use the mixer for this? tx in advance, gary PS: [g]mplayer is a nice suite; it's just difficult to set up/use/tune/. -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org www.thought.org Public service Unix
