.srt subtitles with tags - line breaks can be swallowed

I've seen this using the 2007-10-28 nightly. I'm trying out .srt files with tags for formatting (because I think it's an exciting feature and I wanted a preview on how that will look). My file contains an all italic, two-line subtitle entry. If the entry in the file is like this:

<i>first line
second line</i>

then it's displayed as one would expect. If the tag is closed at the end of each line, like this:

<i>first line</i>
<i>second line</i>

then the line break is "swallowed", i.e. the second line is appended to the first with no character in between, not even a space.

Problem was in the freetype renderer - ie. not present on OS X which uses quartztext renderer by default. It should be corrected in r22921.

added Status::fixed label
