Check out the umlauts here:

For some reason, SM displays them to the right of the target letter, although the source code displays them correctly. It's because the author has used "u" plus the combining umlaut rather than the single letter "ü," thus: "ü."

So "the University of Tübingen" appears as "the University of Tu¨bingen," and "Rainer Grün" appears as "Rainer Gru¨n."

I'm not using an odd font here, and they don't specify one. It's plain-vanilla Times Roman.

Copy/pasting the source code into Notepad, MS Word, or other applications shows that it displays correctly there. Even copy/pasting the text from the badly displayed browser window shows that it displays correctly elsewhere. Only in an SM browser window is the umlaut misplaced. No, wait, IE 11 has the same problem.

Any idea how to fix this?

Paul, I'm using SM 2.49.5 and both 'Tübingen' and 'Grün' looked fine to me .... mind you, I had to concentrate hard to see the umlauts as separate/above from the 'u'. ;-) .... and my spellchecker was complaining about the umlauts as well!
