Your test page is interesting, but is postulates the use
of style sheet switching,

You are always free to define your preferred font family
in your browser’s preferences, no? You may even choose a
font family that I did not mention on my page.  ;-)

Right (well, in most cases).

which is really supported by Firefox only, if I am not mistaken.

Internet Explorer 8 and Opera, too. I remind you of

I stand corrected.

The situation is even more puzzling, since glyphs like uni0305 have a positive advance width (like 1233 units) in DejaVu Sans Mono, but browsers still seem to get things right with it. Microsoft Office 2007 Word does not: when I set the font to DejaVu Sans Mono and enter

foo305 Alt X bar

I get fōo (i.e. with the line above a wrong character) first, and then the b of bar overprints the second o.

Yet, web browsers, even IE 9, seem to get things right here.
