these patches let ,,oldstyle'' and freetype subtitle renderers live together happily. if an oldstyle subtitle (font.desc) is found, it will be used. otherwise mplayer will choose subfont.ttf, if freetype was detected during ./configure. (also you can use -font /path/to/font.desc and -font /path/to/foobar.ttf too) patch-set by Wojtek Kaniewski <[e-mail]>
