Package: libharfbuzz0b
Version: 1.2.6-2
Severity: serious
With this version of harfbuzz and fonts-cantarell 0.0.21-1 I get
incorrectly formatted accents in labels in GTK-3 apps at least.
A word like "Fenêtres" is badly displayed with the "t" being displayed
on top of the "ê". The "^" accent is a dead-letter so it must be combined
with the next letter when input on the keyboard, but once combined it
should obviously no longer have this attribute...
Example here:

I don't know if this is a bug in harfbuzz or in fonts-cantarell (as I
don't have the problem with other fonts). In any case, if an update
is needed on fonts-cantarell, it would be nice to add a Breaks on the old
package... that's why I put this at severity serious so that the package
doesn't migrate to testing until this has been sorted out.

Since this was a bug in fonts-cantarell and not in harfbuzz itself, and that bug
is now fixed (thanks!) and already in testing, I think we can close this. I
don't want to do an upload now as this is blocking testing migration of other
packages (e.g. mapnik, which in turn blocks the ongoing gdal transition) and if
not absolutely necessary I'd like to avoid adding the breaks as we've had
dist-upgrade issues in the past due to that.
Let me know if you have a strong opinion about it and I'll consider adding the
breaks in a future upload.
Cheers,
Emilio
