Umlaute look weird:
äÄöÖüÜ specifically, the dots above them are somewhat off

and

Zoom up to large font sizes and you'll see that the dots are circular and
perfectly positioned, so the problem is not in the vector fonts. For
some of the smaller sizes they do indeed look dreadful (off-centre), so I
suspect the hinting is poor or nonexistent.
