Misplaced diacritics
I have a problem with combining diacritics not being placed correctly. I am using Mellel 2.7.1 and OS X 10.5.8. With some fonts (Times Regular) the combining diacritics are so far to the right of the modified letter that they appear to be over the following letter. With others (Minion Pro) they just...
