Hi Vincent,

I tried to reproduce the bug you mentioned in fonts-droid. Attaching the
screen shots. As you can see in gedit it shows  áe with top bar between
a and e this I assume is natural because Mono fonts assume all glyphs
are uni width but á is not uni width glyph hence can't be placed in a
single cell. This is my assumption I may be wrong but please enlighten
me if so.

Now the same font renders fine in konsole see the second screen shot
which means font is proper but if the issue exists its indeed in engine
which is rendering it in gedit. IIRC gnome uses pango and KDE qt
rendering engines so is that why its rendering so?

Since I'm not fully expert in fonts and rendering I'm ccing pkg-fonts
team please keep them in CC while replying. 

Regards
