Screenshot of subtitles in wrong encoding; correct text is "Mairéad"

I recently encoded a matroska video with hand-edited subtitles muxed in. The
subtitles appear as S_TEXT/UTF8 in the list of tracks in the mkv, and both the
SRT used in muxing and an extracted SRT stream are valid UTF-8. However, any
non-ASCII character displayed is garbled. The attached screenshot is from
totem, but the bug is reproducible with gst-launch-1.0 playbin.
