(preferred) You can generate Unicode subtitles with: - subfont --unicode <signle-byte encoding known by iconv> ... -or - subfont --unicode <path to custom encoding file> ... - (this custom encoding file could list all iso-8859-* characters to create -single font file for common encodings) - -and then run mplayer this way (-subcp and -utf8 expect Unicode font!): - mplayer -subcp <any encoding known by iconv> ... -or - mplayer -utf8 ... - -2. (current) Generate subtitles for some specific encoding with: - subfont <signle-byte encoding known by iconv> ... -or - subfont <path to custom signle-byte or EUC encoding file> ... - -and then run mplayer without any encoding options for signle-byte -encodings, or with -unicode option for EUC (and the like) encodings -(which is only partially implemented in mplayer). - -AFAIK, CJK encodings: EUC-*, BIG5 and GB2312 work more or less this way: -- 0x8e (SINGLE-SHIFT TWO, SS2) begins a 2-byte character, -- 0x8f (SINGLE-SHIFT THREE, SS3) begins a 3-byte character, -- 0xa0-0xff begin 2-byte characters, -- other characters are single-byte. - - -I tested charmap2enc script only with /usr/share/i18n/charmaps/EUC-KR.gz -(on RedHat).
