Try this link http://www.fedorafaq.org/fc2/#installsoftware
There's a yum.conf file there that you can download and use. It is already configured to use mirrors, which makes yum a lot faster. Just follow the directions.
Once you have that file, you should be able to search yum for mplayer (yum search mplayer) and find the packages that you want.
I'll leave the font issue to someone who has a better idea than I. Hope this helps.

Ok, I'm using FC2 and decided to install MPlayer. YUM
does not have it, believe it or not. So, the byuradio
website told me to do "yum update". I thought this
command would only update my headers. Well, it turned
out that all packets were updated (it took about 1
hour)... and mplayer still DOES NOT show!!! On top of that, I had a very good-looking font set up,
Nimbus Sans pt 7, and during the update something
happened that now that font's bold is UGLY!!!!!
Aaaaaah!!!
To fix the font thing I have already tried to create a folder to hold true type fonts and add the folder to the font path. However, the font is still not seen by the system PREFERENCES.
To install mplayer I have already tried to download the source (I think that's what it was) and run gcc on it, and it gave me a bunch of errors. The files I tried to download and compile were mplayer-1.0pre6-1.src.rpm and MPlayer-1.0pre6a.tar-1.
HELP??? Also, if somebody could tell how to update YUM headers or add mirrors, would be much appreciated.
ThanX! Eduardo
