[vlc] italics in srt file not playing in VLC / Vista

[Bill Davis]

I have an srt subtitle file with some portions in italics.

KMPlayer and Windows Media Player will display the italics, but not VLC Player.

I have version 1.0.3 on a Windows Vista computer.

Does VLC Player support italics?   What should I look for to solve 
this problem?  I tried to set it up with a different font.   That 
didn't make any difference, but maybe I didn't choose the correct font.

Thanks,

Bill Davis
