           Summary: Accents invisible on some capital letters except at
                    extreme sizes
           Product: DejaVu
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Sans
        AssignedTo: dejavu-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: kimb at comcen.com.au


On WinXP, in DejaVu Sans v2.9, accents on some capital letters do not appear
except at very large font sizes. The size required in order to make the accent
appear varies with the character, ranging from 24pt to 38pt. I see the problem
in OOo.Writer and in Microsoft Word.

The characters affected are: 
Ẽ - Latin capital letter e with tilde
Ỹ - Latin capital letter y with tilde
Ẑ - Latin capital letter z with circumflex
Ḉ - Latin capital letter c with cedilla and acute 
Ç´ - Latin capital letter g with acute
Ḱ - Latin capital letter k with acute
Ḿ - Latin capital letter m with acute
á¹” - Latin capital letter p with acute

There may be others - I haven't reviewed the entire font.

Furthermore, in the following capital letters with two diacritics above, the
upper diacritic does not show up, or at best only a fragment of it is visible,
at font sizes up to 108pt (I haven't tried higher):
