Please upgrade your mplayer and make sure it is compiled with font support.
gnome-mplayer plays mkv files fine assuming mplayer supports them.

I updated mplayer from 28347 to 28348. I compiled mplayer with --enable-ass, but
still the same problem. Perhaps there are some other configure options that 
I've missed?

Also, mplayer can play the file without any problem.

I believe you need freetype to get that feature to work. When compiling mplayer 
make
sure these options are detected.

Checking for bitmap font support ... yes 
Checking for freetype >= 2.0.9 ... yes 
Checking for fontconfig ... no 
Checking for SSA/ASS support ... yes

There was an error while compiling mplayer. Found a patch on AUR that fixed it, 
and
now everything works perfect =)

Thanks for the help.
