I experimented a lot today with witting a new diacritics composer. I thought since it is so hard to get the problematic fonts look right, I would write something that would work fine for non-problematic fonts and then try to figure out where the difference is. I obtained a very basic version which draws diacritics by composition, even if precomposed character are available in font. I used step by step comparison to try to get the proportions right.

And even thought I succeed in most cases, it is very hard to determine a general formula bases only on character height, ascent and descent. I will need base height and x-height also. Looking over XGlyphInfo it seems that it is possible to get the exact height and width of a given character.

Also, using the macron character will yield uniformly horrible results, so I replaced it with a basic '-'.

PS: Did one of the menu items from the site disappear? Wasn't there a link under �Founding U++�?
