There's not much we can do here. First of all, Windows shouldn't just cut off
those glyphs at a certain point. If you try Firefox on Linux, you'll see that
all accents are properly rendered.

There's two things we could do to make it work in Windows: increase line
spacing, but then we'd break all documents made with DejaVu, and would make the
font a lot less appealing for usage as a system font. Or we could make the base
glyphs smaller than the normal capitals, because there just isn't enough room
to put all accents in the space between the letter and the point where Windows
is clipping it off. But that wouldn't look very nice either.

So, in short, Windows should fix its rendering and don't cut the glyphs off
anymore.
