[Bug 51554] Re: Unicode combining characters don't combine properly.

[Adam Buchbinder]

I didn't confirm my own bug; Daniel Robitaille confirmed this bug ten
months ago. I set it from 'Needs Info' back to 'Confirmed' because I
answered the questions and figured that it no longer Needed Info. I
don't have a "proper screenshot"; I don't have a browser that properly
renders these, which is why I filed this bug.

These are the characters in question; I copied and pasted them from the
text file linked in the initial bug report. They'll display properly (as
three characters, each with a diacritical mark) in your browser, or they
won't.

I've attached a screenshot of Firefox 1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.11-0ubuntu0.6.06.1
on Dapper, displaying this text both as fixed-width text in the main
window, and as variable-width text in the quick-search bar at the upper
right. You can see that the dots are above the letters v and r in the
quick-search bar, and that the ring is almost above the capital lambda--
it should be directly on top, but at least it's not a full character's
width to the right like it is in the fixed-width font in the main
window.
