[Devel] position of Combining Diacritical Marks

[Holger Waechtler]

Hi everybody,

I experienced problems when trying to combine characters
in the 0x0300-0x3xxx range with commonly used fonts like
Courier New.

The Glyph rectangle is there specified in a way that it
does not applies to the last Glyph like described in the
Unicode Spec but to the next one like used in console
combiner maps.

Is this a bug in the font or should other encodings get
special handling?

What is the right way to fix this, should an application
check if the Glyph Bounding Box is right of the Glyph
Origin? And if so shift it one advance to the left?

Are you aware of any fonts providing a vertical advance
I could use to test my code?

Holger
