mplayer Subtitle Size

_{Back to LinuxStuff.  Back to MainPage.}

The default subtitle font size was too large for my liking.  To try out different sizes, try:

mplayer -subtitle-text-scale 3 -sub movie.srt movie.avi

Increase or decrease the value 3 until you're happy with the result.  Save this in your mplayer's default configuration by adding the following line to  ~/.mplayer/config

subtitle-text-scale = 3
