Fix usage for common users that may not have fbset in their path. Idea by D Richard Felker III.

;
; Mplayer subtitle font description file - HighreS ONE
; font created by a'rpi & chass
; .desc created by chass & atmosfear
; -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
;
;
; This file contains the data for Mplayer to build up the font
; table from the bitmap files. These fonts are used for the OSD
; (On Screen Display) and for the subtitles.
;
;
; A few words for the novice user about the fonts:
; -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
;
; Mplayer uses antialiased bitmap fonts, which look far better
; then the TTF rendering used by other players. A letter consists
; of two main parts: the Bitmap and the Alpha chanel. The bitmap
; is what you see on the screen, and the Aplha chanel makes the 
; Font fade smoothly ito the background. And in this font we use
; the alpha to get a smooth black outline of the letters, which 
; makes them visible even on white areas of the movie.
;
; Mplayer needs at least two seperate 8bit/pixel format bitmap 
; files and a .desc file to be able to use the font. One of the
; files is the bitmap the other is the alpha. The .desc (like this
; one) gives Mplayer the information needed to convert a bitmap
; to characters. But the .desc allows to use more bitmap and alpha
; files: this feature is useful when one wants to add local language
; support for the subtitles.

;
; ABOUT THE .DESC
;
; [1],File layout: the file consists of several sections,
; the sections are marked like [XXX] where XXX is the section
; name. The three main sections:
;
;  [info]: gives general information about the font, like the
;          version of the .desc, the author's name and general 
;          rendering options like kerning.
;
;  [files] & [characters] : they go togeather, they describe
;                           the place of characters in the bitmap.
;                           Up to 16 is allowed per .desc
;
; [2],The variables:
;
; [info]
;    name        string            name of the font, and misc information
;    desc        int               Version of this file
;    spacewidth  int               num of pixels for #32
;    charspace   int               the distance between chars
;    height      int               the distance between rows
; [files]
;    alpha       string            name of alpha map file
;    bitmap      string            name of bitmap file
; [character]
;                string int int    the positon of a character
;
;
; MPlayer can build up it's font table from up to 16*2 files (16 bitmap
; and 16 alpha channels).
;
