strange problem with Greek subtitles in mplayer

Ok, a few days ago, I compiled mplayer again, using the source from the CVS this time. Everything seems to be fine, until I discovered a really strange problem when displaying greek subtitles in avi movies.
The Greek were sort of inverted horizontaly.
Instead of displaying:
"Τι κάνεις" it looked more like "ςιενάκ ιτ".
English were displayed fine, so "Τι κάνεις John" looked like "ςιενάκ ιτ John".

I tried using a windows arial.ttf font with the same results. What I had to do is keep the font encoding to Modern Greek (ISO-8859-7) but change the Subtitle encoding in Subtitle & OSD tab to Western European Languages with Euro (ISO-8859-15). I don't know why but after doing this it worked.

Try to convert .srt file to UTF-8 and run mplayer with -utf8 option. Else rename .srt to .utf (instead -utf8 option)

Nice blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere?
A design like yours with a few simple tweeks would really make my blog stand out.
Please let me know where you got your design. Thanks

Παιδια καλησπερα, δεν ξερω αν ειναι το σωστο σημειο μιας και πρωτη φορα μπαινω, αλλα διαβαζοντας 'αιτημα' μου δινει να καταλαβω πως μπορω να ζητησω κατι απο το sruff της σελιδας και αν και εφοσον ειναι δυνατον υλοποιηται.Θα ηθελα λοιπον αν γινεται να βρεθουν οι υποτιτλοι (γιατι πουθενα,μα πουθενα ΔΕΝ υπαρχουν στα Ελληνικα) για την ταινια: Pariah (1998).
Καθως επισης αντιμετοπιζω το ιδιο προβλημα και στις ακολουθες:
Oi! Warning (1999) Ben and Dominik Reding, Russia 88 (2009) Pavel Bardin[3],Higher Learning (1995) John Singleton και Skinhead Attitude (2004) Daniel Schweizer. Αν ειναι δυνατον καποιος απο την ομαδα μεταφρασης να ανεβασει καποια απο αυτες θα του ημουν ευγνωμων,ή να με παρεπεμπαι καπου οπου μπορω να τις βρω, αλλα δεν νομιζω γιατι ηδη εχω χτενισει το διαδυκτιο και πουθενα δεν υπαρχουν στα Ελληνικα.Ευχαριστω.


Μετα Τιμης
Ελευθεριου Παναγιωτης.
