+``--use-text-osd=<yes|no>``
+ Disable text OSD rendering completely. (This includes the complete OSC as
+ well.) This is mostly useful for avoiding loading fontconfig in situations
+ where fontconfig does not behave well, and OSD is unused - this could for
+ example allow GUI programs using libmpv to workaround fontconfig issues.
+
+ Note that selecting subtitles of any kind still initializes fontconfig.
