In the past I used this setting successfully.  Unfortunately, it does
not seem to catch all the other characters properly; e.g., the 'lower d with a
dash' in "Dindic" (simplified) as cut from
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoran_%C4%90in%C4%91i%C4%87 is too wide:

    Zoran Ðinđić

Char: đ (0212242, 70818, 0x114a2, file ...) point=1406 of 2969 (47%) column 13 

But "Zoran Đinđić" is the version wanted:

Char: đ (01210061, 331825, 0x51031, file ...) point=1506 of 3096 (49%) column 14

What can I do to work around this problem?
