Info for subtitles anad its use, http://blog.adl.pl/playing-divxxvid-...es-on-n900/437
================================================== ==========
A little X-Terminal trickery is required here, not much tough. You need to know encoding of subtitle file, for example most of Polish subtitles are encoded with windows/cp-1250. That needs to be added to mplayer’s config file located at /home/user/.mplayer/config in following manner:

subfont-encoding=windows-1250

or perhaps using a single command in X-Terminal:

echo "subfont-encoding=windows-1250" >> /home/user/.mplayer/config

Now go and enjoy subtitle-powered movies on your shiny N900.
