Can you post some screenshots of the first issue? I can't tell what's causing 
that.

Not showing the upper one of two diacritics is a problem which is caused by 
DejaVu's small line spacing. There is simply no space for two diacritics above 
a capital, and Windows is rather strict about not showing anything above the 
glyph bounds defined in the font. In Linux this isn't a problem most of the 
times and both accents will be shown (though cut-offs do happen sometimes 
still). This problem isn't easily fixable: changing line spacing would result 
in a lot of protest (a font shouldn't just change it's metrics), but with no 
room above a capital we are somewhat stuck on this issue.
