It appears I don't _have_ the century schoolbook font, not in Gedit anyway (or in TextEdit, for that matter). But playing around with different fonts, some it works and some it doesn't. The combining accent either doesn't combine, does but misaligns itself, disappears entirely, or works perfectly; the single character is either in the correct font or not. These two things appear to be completley independent of each other. If I try the same fonts in TextEdit, the single char behaves the same (which makes sense), but the combining diacritic is much better behaved. (Though admittedly there are some fonts where it doesn't appear; none where it just prints the accent as a separate character, though.) If that means it's a pango problem, can someone forward it to the appropriate bug list? Or, tell me where to file it? This is kind of annoying. -- -=-Don [EMAIL PROTECTED]<http://www.blahedo.org/>-=- It's a small world, but I wouldn't want to paint it. --Steven Wright _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
