<para>If you wish to utilize a <application>FreeType</application> font,
you need to link a <acronym>TTF</acronym>
file to your <filename class="directory">~/.mplayer</filename> directory. For example:
<screen><userinput><command>ln -sf /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/luxisri.ttf ~/.mplayer/subfont.ttf
</command></userinput></screen>
otherwise
<screen><userinput><command>tar xjvf ../font-arial-iso-8859-1.tar.bz2 -C /usr/share/mplayer/font &amp;&amp;
ln -sf /usr/share/mplayer/font/font-arial-iso-8859-1/font-arial-<replaceable>[font size]</replaceable>-iso-8859-1/* /usr/share/mplayer/font</command></userinput></screen>
You can chose your font size of 14, 18, 24 or 28.
</para>
<para>Set the proper permissions for <acronym>CODEC</acronym>s, skins and fonts:</para>
<screen><userinput><command>chown -R root:root <replaceable>[CODECs location]</replaceable> &amp;&amp;
chown -R root:root /usr/share/mplayer</command></userinput></screen>
<para>Optionally, set up the <acronym>GUI</acronym> with the following commands:</para>
<screen><userinput><command>cat &gt; /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf &lt;&lt; "EOF"</command>
gui = yes
skin = default
<command>EOF</command></userinput></screen>
<para>The first line, <userinput>gui = yes</userinput>, will make
MPlayer start in <acronym>GUI</acronym> mode automatically. If you want to decide whether to start
in <acronym>GUI</acronym> mode or not, leave that line out and start
<command>mplayer</command> with
<option>-gui</option> or as <command>gmplayer</command> (e.g.
when starting from a Window Manager menu or command prompt). Note that
the main configuration file is called <filename>config</filename> if it
is placed in the <filename class="directory">~/.mplayer</filename> directory.</para>
