Package: mplayer Version: 1.0~rc3+svn20090405-1+b1 Severity: important
On startup, Mplayer pops up a dialog titled "Error!", stating: New_Face failed. Maybe the font path is wrong. Please supply the text font file (~/.mplayer/subfont.ttf) I see other reports of this, which seem to recommend manual configuration. But shouldn't this be done be the package installation? http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/MPlayer#TroubleShooting http://www.electrictoolbox.com/mplayer-error-new-face-failed/ In previous installs of mplayer, I did not see this problem. I'm not sure what has changed. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (600, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.33-lizzie Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages mplayer depends on: ii debconf [debconf- 1.5.28 Debian configuration management sy ii libasound2 1.0.22-2 shared library for ALSA applicatio ii libatk1.0-0 1.28.0-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libaudio2 1.9.2-3 Network Audio System - shared libr ii libavcodec52 4:0.5.1-1 ffmpeg codec library ii libavformat52 4:0.5.1-1 ffmpeg file format library ii libavutil49 4:0.5.1-1 ffmpeg utility library ii libc6 2.10.2-6 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libcaca0 0.99.beta17-1 colour ASCII art library ii libcairo2 1.8.10-2 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libcdparanoia0 3.10.2+debian-9 audio extraction tool for sampling ii libdirectfb-1.2-0 1.2.10really1.2.8-1+b1 direct frame buffer graphics - sha ii libesd0 0.2.41-7 Enlightened Sound Daemon - Shared ii libfontconfig1 2.8.0-2 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.3.11-1 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libfribidi0 0.19.2-1 Free Implementation of the Unicode ii libgcc1 1:4.4.3-3 GCC support library ii libgif4 4.1.6-9 library for GIF images (library) ii libgl1-mesa-glx [ 7.7-4 A free implementation of the OpenG ii libglib2.0-0 2.22.4-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.18.7-1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libjack0 0.118+svn3796-3 JACK Audio Connection Kit (librari ii libjpeg62 6b-16.1 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii liblircclient0 0.8.3-5 infra-red remote control support - ii liblzo2-2 2.03-2 data compression library ii libncurses5 5.7+20090803-2 shared libraries for terminal hand ii libogg0 1.1.4~dfsg-2 Ogg bitstream library ii libopenal1 1:1.11.753-1 Software implementation of the Ope ii libpango1.0-0 1.26.2-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpng12-0 1.2.43-1 PNG library - runtime ii libpostproc51 4:0.5.1-1 ffmpeg video postprocessing librar ii libpulse0 0.9.21-1 PulseAudio client libraries ii libsdl1.2debian 1.2.14-4 Simple DirectMedia Layer ii libsmbclient 2:3.4.7~dfsg-1 shared library for communication w ii libspeex1 1.2~rc1-1 The Speex codec runtime library ii libstdc++6 4.4.3-3 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libsvga1 1:1.4.3-29 console SVGA display libraries ii libswscale0 4:0.5.1-1 ffmpeg video scaling library ii libtheora0 1.1.1+dfsg.1-3 The Theora Video Compression Codec ii libx11-6 2:1.3.3-1 X11 client-side library ii libxext6 2:1.1.1-2 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxinerama1 2:1.1-2 X11 Xinerama extension library ii libxt6 1:1.0.7-1 X11 toolkit intrinsics library ii libxv1 2:1.0.5-1 X11 Video extension library ii libxvmc1 2:1.0.5-1 X11 Video extension library ii libxxf86dga1 2:1.1.1-2 X11 Direct Graphics Access extensi ii libxxf86vm1 1:1.1.0-2 X11 XFree86 video mode extension l ii mplayer-skin-blue 1.6-2 blue skin for mplayer ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 compression library - runtime mplayer recommends no packages.
