Thanks I tried mplayer and as soon as it starts it complained that it could not load bitmap font sans-serif. So I went to preferences and pointed it to a font that is there and the complaint reappeared with this new font. I tried several and always received the same complaint with the font I chose mentioned explicitly. For example now it says Cannot load bitmap font: /usr/share/fonts/corefonts/cour.ttf Help would appreciated. allan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
