I also had another experience with these fonts: stacked diacritics don't 
work with the mono style font.  Six years ago, when I initially reported 
this problem, stacked diacritics would overstrike each other.  They no 
longer overstrike, but the second diacritic winds up instead over the 
next base character (to the right in a left-to-right script).

I should probably use some other sans serif font.  As I recall, the 
problem is that there aren't a lot of sans serif monospaced fonts out 
there that have combining diacritics; DejaVu was about the only one, 
last time I looked.
