LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH RING ABOVE has the ring waaay to the right



Hi,

At 10 points, Vera Sans's U+00E5, aka LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH RING
ABOVE has the ring not at all very pleasingly placed. This can be seen
in the gucharmap, for example.

Looking at the gucharmap chart, a couple of other dicritics get oddly
placed: diaeresis seems to be put a little to the right in LATIN SMALL
LETER I WITH DIAERESIS, on the LATIN SMALL LETTER Y WITH DIAERESIS, and
a couple more.

This effect disappears at bigger sizes.

I'm using xft 2.1.2 (TT hinted), fontconfig 2.2.0 and libfreetype 
9.3.3 (?)

Attached is a screenshot of gucharmap showing latin supplement/extended.

Cheers,

    De la observación de la irreductibilidad de las creencias últimas 
    he sacado la mayor lección de mi vida. Aprendí a respetar las ideas 
    ajenas, a detenerme ante el secreto de las conciencias, a entender 
    antes de discutir, a discutir antes de condenar. Y como estoy en 
    vena de confesiones, hago una más, quizás superflua: detesto con 
    toda mi alma a los fanáticos.
