libass/mplayer won't use more than 17 fonts from .mkv

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open a softsubbed .mkv with more than 17 embedded fonts
2. Find a line which uses any font beyond the first 17
3. The line is displayed using incorrect font

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
All fonts attached to the .mkv should be used, no matter how many there are.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Reproduced on two versions:
- MPlayer dev-SVN-r31930-4.5-openSUSE Linux 11.3 (x86_64)
- MPlayer OSX Extended Revision 14 using Snow Leopard

This is a known limitation of the MKV demuxer in ffmpeg's libavformat, which is 
used by default in MPlayer. To workaround, use the "mkv" demuxer (-demuxer mkv) 
or switch to MPlayer2, which has much better MKV support.
