I'm still struggling to see what is wrong. Please, instead of a long text give me a few characters or one word. I need to original utf-8 text and a screenshot of how it looks right. Any language will do, so long as it's easy to tell the accent apart from the base character. In Arabic this is quite difficult. Also, right-to-left text has its own problems. Also, there are a lot of variations. Both in the version of the GTK libraries and the fonts. I thought the accents on ASCII characters were working fine, but with my current GTK version they were positioned a full character too far to the left. Or perhaps it's caused by the font that is now used by default. That needs to be fixed. With non-monospaced fonts we may never get it right, since we are doing things pango wasn't made for. But for monospaced fonts it should work. Ah, I just found a sequence that displays wrong for me: 〜̈ e ̈a ̈o ̈. Putting an accent on a space doesn't appear to work. OK, I fixed that.
