Some time ago, I would have totally agreed with you, but no longer: there is something even better than -fontconfig: -ass. In my config file, I have: ass-styles=/home/cigaes/.mplayer/styles.ass And ~/.mplayer/styles.ass looks like this: [Script Info] ScriptType: v4.00+ Collisions: Normal PlayResX: 640 PlayResY: 0 PlayDepth: 0 Timer: 100.0000 WrapStyle: 2 Video Aspect Ratio: 4:3 Video Zoom: 6 Video Position: 0 [V4+ Styles] Format: Name, Fontname, Fontsize, PrimaryColour, SecondaryColour, OutlineColour, BackColour, Bold, Italic, Underline, StrikeOut, ScaleX, ScaleY, Spacing, Angle, BorderStyle, Outline, Shadow, Alignment, MarginL, MarginR, MarginV, Encoding Style: Default,DejaVu Sans,20,&H00FFFFFF,&H00FFFFFF,&H00000000,&H80000000,0,0,0,0,100,100,0,0,1,1,2,2,10,10,10,1 The result is that if I enable -ass, the subtitles are rendered by libass, and look much nicer than the default ones. Furthermore, as I have a reasonably fast computer, I add "-vf-add dsize=1920:1200:0,scale=0:0" to get software scaling and have the subtitles rendered at the screen resolution.
