Details & Reproduction Steps

Linux 7.1.4-zen1-1-zen,
libass 0.17.5-1,mpv 1:0.41.0-3
I'm using wayland (hyprland)
I downloaded the modernz.lua, modernz.conf, and modernz-icons.ttf and put them in ~/.config/mpv/scripts, ~/.config/mpv/script-opts, and ~/.config/mpv/fonts respectively. Modifying the icon theme from fluent to material just changes the text displayed.

I carefully read all instructions and confirm that I did the following:

• I tested with the latest mpv version to validate that the issue is not already fixed.
• I provided all required information.
