Polish fonts in MPlayer

To get Polish fonts in subtitles in MPlayer one should copy files describing a font from /usr/share/mplayer to ~/.mplayer/font. For example, if one wish to use MS Windows encoded fonts in MPlayer he/she should copy to files from /usr/share/mplayer/font-arial-cp1250/font-arial-24-cp1250 to ~/.mplayer/font/
If ~/.mplayer/font directory does not exist, one should create it.
