Follow-up Comment #12, bug #57506 (project groff): [comment #11 comment #11:] > Your utf8 example has the diacritical mark above the n.
That's the expected result. From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combining_character : "In Unicode, diacritics are always added after the main character." > If I run it as a pdf using Tinos fonts the mark is above the a! Stranger still, if I edit your PDF grout to change the "font" line to one I have on my system (Linux Libertine), then run the results through gropdf, I get a PDF with the mark above the n! (See attached.) So the fonts themselves seem to interpret the combining mark differently, since the grout is otherwise identical. > The "slant" value in the TI font comes from the ItalicAngle > parameter in the corresponding .afm file, it documents the > angle of lean which was used when the font was designed, > changing it will have no effect. afmtodit has a command-line switch to specify a value for "slant" different from the .afm file's ItalicAngle. The passage of afmtodit(1) quoted in comment #6 claims groff uses this value to adjust diacritic placement, but I've been unable to prove this. (But the Libertine result shown in the attachment here sure could use that adjustment.)
