Description
After installing mplayer, there is no OSD font by default: can't see subtitles, volume, position, etc. [Yes, I did install it with osd variant (#14864) although that should probably be default anyway.]
Fix: Copy or symlink a ttf font into $PREFIX/share/mplayer/subfont.ttf as per http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/fonts-osd.html
Not attaching a patch because my choice of font may not be best :) [I think /Library/Fonts/Arial.ttf is a good choice, but any of the fonts from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fonts_in_Mac_OS_X which are distributed as .ttf should be fine, or Macports might want to distribute its own font specifically for Mplayer.]

Clearing out ancient tickets. mplayer osd using freetype works and finds things in the system font dirs
Assigning to maintainer.
