            Bug ID: 193675
           Summary: multimedia/mplayer default configuration should enable
                    fontconfig
           Product: Ports Tree
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: amd64
                OS: Any
            Status: Needs Triage
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: riggs at FreeBSD.org

mplayer identifies the subtitles, but it is unable to display them.

Format                                   : UTF-8
Codec ID                                 : S_TEXT/UTF8
Codec ID/Info                            : UTF-8 Plain Text

This is the unninformative error of mplayer:

New_Face failed. Maybe the font path is wrong.
Please supply the text font file (~/.mplayer/subfont.ttf).
subtitle font: load_sub_face failed.
New_Face failed. Maybe the font path is wrong.
Please supply the text font file (~/.mplayer/subfont.ttf).
subtitle font: load_sub_face failed.

If the conf detects fontconfig on the system, it uses the lib, and is able to
display the subtitiles.


Also build without fontconfig, it breaks umplayer (if you select a system font
on the ttf file directly for subtitles).

The default command line of umplayer is something like (short version):

mplayer -fontconfig -font 'Bitstream Vera Sans' movie.mkv  
MPlayer was compiled without fontconfig support.
MPlayer SVN-r37257-snapshot-3.3 (C) 2000-2014 MPlayer Team


This breaks the version parsing of umplayer, and makes a blank window.
