We seem to have exposed a bug in MSIE.
Note that the NCR saved as material has incorrectly exchanged the upper case yogh for lower case yogh! BTW, when I suggested combining overline, I only meant for the "gh" blend. The other letters looked fine (or as well as can be expected) with the combining macron.
