With DejaVu Sans Mono (version 2.35), accented characters are not displayed properly at some sizes, and appear truncated at the top (as if a pixel row is missing). For example, LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH RING ABOVE "å" Displays properly ----------------- In Windows font dialog, choose "Deja Vu Sans Mono", "Bold", "9" `describe-char' shows the font as: uniscribe:-outline-DejaVu Sans Mono-bold-normal-normal-mono-12-*-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1 (#xA7) Top of ring is clipped ---------------------- In Windows font dialog, choose "Deja Vu Sans Mono", "Book", "9" `describe-char' shows the font as: uniscribe:-outline-DejaVu Sans Mono-normal-normal-normal-mono-12-*-*-*-c-*-= iso8859-1 (#xA7) This only appears with DejaVu Sans Mono version 2.35 at this size, with the "Book" or "Oblique" font styles (larger or smaller sizes display properly).
