Description:
PKGBUILD should depend on ttf-font, not ttf-dejavu

Many people uses other font packages and don't want to install ttf-dejavu. Besides mplayer works great with any other font (ttf-droid in my case).

Same sing with mplayer2 package. I didn't make bug-report for it but i think it shoud be fixed too.
This task depends upon

i don't think it makes any difference. ttf-font always is installing ttf-dejavu since pacman is search the providers in alphabetical order.

A person could install a different font before installing mplayer though. Then they wouldn't need ttf-dejavu.

For example, i use only ttf-droid fonts, and think that they much better(for me) then ttf-dejavu. If i install ttf-droid and ttf-dejavu together then Opera and a few other apps picks up ttf-dejavu automatically whatever system font is! And it's looks terrible and very hard to configure). And i am surprised that changing ttf-dejavu => ttf-font cause questions, because it's a part of announced migration to ttf-font dependency as described here: https://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2013-January/024255.html
Unfortunately, a can't find link where this is described explicitly(
And one more thing - this also applies to mplayer2 (which i use instead of mplayer) but i don't make the same bug-report for it.

P.S. Sorry for my English
