Mplayer & displaying traditional Chinese subtitles

in mplayer\config:

Font=c:\xp\fonts\arialuni.ttf
Subcp=cp950
sub-fuzziness=1

For smplayer:
Preferences > Subtitles > Default subtitle encoding - BIG5 and Font Arial Unicode
Preferences > Advanced > Untick pass short filename


make sure the srt file is in UTF-8 and not unicode
pass the long file name to MPlayer and not the short filename
