mplayer/ subfont.ttf

Description
The option of using truetypefonts (TTF) or ~/.mplayer/subfont.ttf as default for subtitles and OSD seem broken. Using bitmap fonts in ~/.mplayer/font works fine.
The method of using a TTF font (as default) is described on mplayer.hu, so it seems reasonable to be a default option: http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/fonts-osd.html
The following error is reported when trying to use the ttf-file:
mplayer -font ./subfont.ttf ./movie.avi
[...] ./subfont.ttf doesn't look like a bitmap font description, ignoring. Cannot load bitmap font: ./subfont.ttf Playing movie.avi.[...]
Regards, Jørgen.

Did you build MPlayer with the +osd variant? This enables the support libraries needed for ttf files.

With the +osd it works flawless - thanks!
Feel stupid that I did not see that option, sorry for bugging you.
