You can try the following:

Edit your mplayer config file (/home/user/.mplayer/config) and add these lines:

font = "Ubuntu"
ass-font-color = "ffff0000"
ass-font-scale = "2"

Let's say you have a video named video.avi and the subtitles in the same folder eg:(home/user/Videos) named subtitle.srt.

Then to open a video with mplayer in full screen from the command line type:

cd /home/user/Videos
mplayer video.avi -sub subtitle.srt -fs -ass

(You can change the value of "ass-font-scale" acoording to your needs.)

If you are using mplayer-gui to open the video, make sure you have SSA/ASS enable,right-click in mplayer-gui and go to Preferences.

In the tab "Subtitles & OSD" click in "SSA/ASS subtitle rendering"

If you want to change another option like font scaling just go to the "Font" tab.

(Maybe after changing some options you have to restart the mplayer-gui.)

Hope this will be helpful!

Regards.

edit ~/.mplayer/config

#put the path to the desired font
font=/usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/impact.ttf

ffactor="10" #black outline
sub-bg-alpha="0" #background color ala closed captions
sub-bg-color="0" #black to white
subfont-text-scale="3.7"    #truetype font scaling
subfont-blur="1" #Slight blur

not sure about color codes, but you can play 0-255
