Public bug reported:
In the Bitstream Vera Sans Mono font, combining diacritical marks are
drawn over the following character rather than the preceding.
According to the Unicode standard since at least version 3.0, chapter
3.6, verse D56, combining characters apply to the preceding base
character. However, this font renders them on the following base
character.
Version info:
Ubuntu Intrepid
ttf-bitstream-vera 1.10-7
To reproduce:
1. Open gedit.
2. Type the following three code points: U+0061 U+0301 U+0065 (Latin small
letter a, Combining acute accent, Latin small letter e).
3. Via Edit|Preferences|Font & Colors|Font, select the Bitstream Vera Sans Mono
font.
Expected:
* Two grapheme clusters are displayed: Latin small letter a with acute accent,
Latin small letter e.
Observed:
* The grapheme clusters displayed are: Latin small letter a, Latin small letter
e with acute accent.
