[shr-u 20100425] chinese fonts do not work, mplayer still dumb

[jeremy jozwik]

after being fedup with the frustrations of the last shr-u i re-flashed
last night. only to find that chinese characters are no longer
inputable via the terminal even when ttf-arphic-uming and
task-fonts-truetype-chinese are installed.

how can i re-gain chinese font input?

along with that, mplayer is still unable to resume after pausing. this
has been an issue sine last month.

how can i re-gain mplayer pause - resume functionality?
