Package: libharfbuzz0b
Version: 1.2.6-2
Severity: serious

With this version of harfbuzz and fonts-cantarell 0.0.21-1 I get
incorrectly formatted accents in labels in GTK-3 apps at least.

A word like "Fenêtres" is badly displayed with the "t" being displayed
on top of the "ê". The "^" accent is a dead-letter so it must be combined
with the next letter when input on the keyboard, but once combined it
should obviously no longer have this attribute...

Example here:

I don't know if this is a bug in harfbuzz or in fonts-cantarell (as I
don't have the problem with other fonts). In any case, if an update
is needed on fonts-cantarell, it would be nice to add a Breaks on the old
package... that's why I put this at severity serious so that the package
doesn't migrate to testing until this has been sorted out.
