No, nobody replied. I looked at it, but MPlayer does not have a font
parser for ttf, it uses truetype and fontconfig. In addition you
are using a build with I think patched fontconfig.
While I simply forgot to answer, writing to the (in more than one way)
wrong place and ending the mail with such a demanding tone as
"for you to fix your font parser" is not likely to help.

There's a over 1000 revisions newer version version here:

For testing you can also try this, though not recommend for
regular use, it has known issues:

If you know a way to have software magically fix itself we'd welcome it.
_Someone_ will have to do above steps in order to fix it, not because we
like to torture users but because that's how reality works.
If it's a common issue you can expect someone else to do it, if it's an
issue only you have, the only alternative is to just hope for it to fix it
by itself (for which you actually have a good chance, since and experimental
compiler was used so it's no surprise there are bugs).
