patch fixing the issue

Chromium's WebFontInfo::renderStyleForStrike() method, which is used to get font style settings from fontconfig on Linux, doesn't set the useSubpixel field in the WebFontRenderStyle struct that gets passed into it.  As a result, we just use the struct's default value of 0, which disables subpixel rendering.  The fix for this is pretty trivial; I'll work on writing a test.
