Bug#660294: gnome-mplayer: does not load embedded fonts from MKV files

[James Aaron Asis]

Package: gnome-mplayer
Version: 0.9.9.2-1
Severity: normal


Gnome-mplayer seems to prefer using the font specified in the "Subtitle Font" 
option in "Subtitle Settings" despite the option "Use Embedded Fonts" being enabled.
Checking and unchecking the "Use Embedded Fonts" option does not change the behavior of the program.

This behavior is specific to gnome-mplayer and not the underlying mplayer program
because when the same MKV video file is opened with the command "mplayer -ass",
the embedded fonts are loaded and used correctly.
