<para>If you wish to utilize a freetype font, you need to link a TTF
file to your ~/.mplayer directory. For example:
<screen>ln -sf /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/luxisri.ttf ~/.mplayer/subfont.ttf</screen>otherwise
<screen>ln -sf /usr/share/mplayer/font/iso-8859-1/arial-14 ~/.mplayer/font</screen>
where 14 is the font size. You can chose your font size of 14, 18, 24 or 28.</para>
<para>Set up the GUI with the following commands executed from your source directory:</para>
<para><screen><userinput>cat &gt; ~/.mplayer/config &lt;&lt; "EOF"</userinput>
gui = yes
skin = default
<userinput>EOF
mkdir ~/.mplayer/Skin &amp;&amp;
tar -xvf ../default.tar -C ~/.mplayer/Skin</userinput></screen>
</para>
<para>The first line, <userinput>gui = yes</userinput>, will make
MPlayer start in gui mode automatically. If you want to decide whether to start
in gui mode or not, leave that line out and start mplayer with
<userinput>-gui</userinput> or as <userinput>gmplayer</userinput> (e.g.
when starting from a Window Manager menu or command prompt).</para>
