In the subtitle where “atvīkė̄” occurs, the Verdana font is being used;
Verdana is left out of the styling on the following line:

Verdana does not support U+0304. Arial, however has supported it since
Windows Vista.
The word “Vielībė̄jė” in the navigation bar appears to be formatted
with Arial. It displays correctly on Windows.

*Subject:* Samogitian E with dot above and macron
Hello all,
On 2010-06-30 change became effective for Samogitian
(http://www.sil.org/iso639-3/documentation.asp?id=sgs). There are one
letter which has many problems with rendering. It is E/e with dot
above and macron
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/bat-smg/0/0f/E_smg.jpg). You
can see it in:
http://bat-smg.wikipedia.org/wiki/P%C4%97rms_poslapis
atvīk*ė̄* or Vielīb*ė̅*jė. On Linux it is shown (in different shrifts)
as „ė“ with macron between dot and letter or „ė“ with minus near
letter (see attachment). On Windows macron is shown as box (or I
haven't any good shrift). For now all writers use shrift with
additional letter, ex.
ftp://ftp.akl.lt/sriftai/Vytis/Naujas_Vytis/Vytis_1.002/ . Simple user
don't use this letter - writes 'atvīk*ėė*' or 'atvīk*ėn*', even
'atvīk*ėi*', but it is against rules.
This letter was introduced in 1998 in Samogitian writing book
„Žemaičių rašyba“ (Samogitian writing) (/ISBN/: 998692071X). Latter it
was used in all Samogitian books. Try to use in IT is complicated.
What I should to do what this letter come to unicode? As I read in
http://www.unicode.org/pending/proposals.html it is better to deal
about it in this thread at first.
Best regards,
Arns Udovīčė
