When I play any video file, I get thousands of lines of this: | Code: | ...
Wrong bounding box, width <= 0 !
Cannot prepare subtitle font.
Selected font is not scalable. Using ppem=14.
FT_Set_Pixel_Sizes failed.
Wrong bounding box, width <= 0 !

Also, audio and video slowly go out of sync; the sample rate doesn't seem to matter, it desyncs with 22050 audio and 48000 audio. Video performance is suprisingly good otherwise, though 'top' reveals that mplayer is sucking 100% of my 500MHz processor.
I already have mplayer configured for MMX, MMX2, and SSE. Is there any way I can improve performance enough to keep sync? Is the font problem also sucking up a lot of CPU?

If this is a new install (ie, hadn't used mplayer before), then I'm not sure how one goes about dealing with that, otherwise I would try renaming or deleting ~/.mplayer/ - it seems the font configuration for subtitles is messed up (maybe using older settings that don't work anymore). Hopefully that will fix it  |

| Do you use any unstable packages that could have something to do with this issue, e.g. FreeType? Also, what's about CFLAGS and "emerge mplayer -pv"? Are there any uncommented lines in /etc/mplayer.conf? |

I fixed it! Somehow I managed to not have media-fonts/corefonts installed. I really don't know how I managed that. mplayer keeps perfect time now that it doesn't waste time spewing thousands of lines of font errors. This also explains why half the pdf's I tried to view came up pure white...
