Description

OSD/SUBTITLE OPTIONS
NOTE: Also see −vf expand.
−ass (FreeType only)
Turn on SSA/ASS subtitle rendering. With this option, libass will be used for SSA/ASS external subtitles and Matroska tracks. You may also want to use −embeddedfonts.
---> snip end
find "-emdeddedfonts" in page failed, no description of the parameter
Is the parameter description missing or is the above ref. obsolete?

The option description exists, even though it is slightly inconsistent. I shall fix that.

The description is also outdated, with newer freetype no files need to be created (and none are created) and in this case -embeddedfonts it is enabled by default.

Ummm, this is what the manual page says:
.B \-embeddedfonts (FreeType only)
Enables extraction of Matroska embedded fonts (default: disabled).
These fonts can be used for SSA/ASS subtitle
rendering (\-ass option).
Font files are created in the ~/.mplayer/\:fonts directory.
.br
.I NOTE:
With FontConfig 2.4.2 or newer, embedded fonts are opened directly from memory,
and this option is enabled by default.
Is there something missing from this description?

Just done a formal check: Search the online page for any reference of this "fonts"
directory - zero ditto for the Online ODS chapter of the manual --> zero
-subfont : Is this an jet undocumented new option?
The command line parser of the OS/2 build/port (based on SVN R23689)does accept this option,
an port built in Feb 2007 comes up with an invalid option

No, I just missed the "NOTE:" part, despite the fact the I knew it should be there.
And -subfont was promised to be documented in May already but it seems the responsible developer forgot about it. I wrote a reminder.
