You may need to add -utf8 to your mplayer command line (or set utf8=yes 
in config) to correctly display the UTF8 subtitles.  You may also be 
able to correctly display subtitles without this patch by adding -subcp 
latin1 to your mplayer command line.  If you're using mplayer2, I think 
it will detect the encoding automatically.
