New_Face failed. Maybe the font path is wrong plus Adjusted n subtitle(s)

[etruscan]

Subtitles don't appear in Preview or encoded sample although VLC has no problem displaying them.

Version 0.0.9y with older binaries on 10.5.2. Process Information yields following:

>SwScaler: using unscaled Planar YV12 -> Planar YV12 special converter
>New_Face failed. Maybe the font path is wrong.

How to fix this?

Another thing with subtitles is the lack of information provided by the SUB: routine. It would be helpful to have further information on what the "Adjusted" means. I've dropped my .srt's into an Excel file to highlight overlapping timings, short durations or other errors and found no problem. I've also checked the text in BBEdit and found no extraneous characters. And yet there are "adjustments" (Panther/Tiger, older version, Leopard yet to work).

>SUB: Detected subtitle file format: subviewer
>SUB: Read 105 subtitles.
>SUB: Adjusted 1 subtitle(s).

Something's wrong in my configuration. Mplayer message on quitting the preview by close-box widget:

Can anyone shed some light how the .spumux folder gets to be or not be in the expected path?

>New_Face failed. Maybe the font path is wrong.

Try re-installing one of the binaries. Apparently the binaries installer does a bit more than just install the 3 files. It also copies an (invisible) ".spumux" fonts folder to your home directory. If it was corrupt, you will now have a good copy. If it was missing for some reason, it will now be there to make ffmpegX subtitles work correctly.

Mplayer message on quitting the preview by close-box widget

Don't use the red close button to close mplayer. It was not designed to handle that like most other apps. Instead, use the [esc], [q] or [return] key to end the preview.

By closing mplayer from the close button, I got the above error report. Spotlight found .spumux in a recent older drive; dropped that on the same path in the current drive and used older binaries and ffmpegX 0.0.9x to do the job successfully.

Whatever... it worked. Can't cold-swap the newer binaries though as I get an Applescript error, so I'm stuck with what I have. It's a shame to have do go through hoops, but major isn't responsible for the sorry state of the binaries.
