Hi all,
I'm running into an issue with a particular font. I'm not sure if
this is a problem with Emacs or with the font, so before reporting
an actual bug, I thought I'd ask here first.
The font I'm having trouble with is Linux Libertine O, which is a
variable-width font, so it only shows when `variable-pitch-mode`
is enabled.
The issue occurs with several diacritics of the International
Phonetic Alphabet[1], which are combining characters. One
character causing the issue is ̩ COMBINING VERTICAL LINE BELOW
0x0329. When this character is combined with e.g., n, the result
is displayed as a (small) capital n with the diacritic, not as an
lower case n.
The screen show below shows the problem (it's the final letter in
the word):

This screen shot was taken with `emacs -Q` and executing
`(set-face-attribute 'variable-pitch nil :height 1.4 :family
"Linux Libertine O")` at an `IELM` prompt and `M-x
variable-pitch-mode` in the buffer. To see what the word *should*
look like, consider this screen shot:

This is also `emacs -Q`, with `(set-face-attribute 'default nil
:height 110 :foundry "unknown" :family "DejaVu Sans Mono")` and
`variable-pitch-mode` disabled.
The fact that Emacs displays the word correctly with DejaVu Sans
Mono seems to suggest that it's not an Emacs problem but rather a
font problem, but note that the same diacritic with the same font
displays correctly in a pdf:

(That's a screen shot of the pdf resulting from the LaTeX file in
the first two screen shots, created with xelatex).
So should this be reported as an Emacs bug, or should I contact
the font creator?
TIA
