I assume you have already considered: are the fonts embedded in
the PDF? Did he enter the characters as precomposed combinations
or by using combining marks? First option more likely, I imagine.<br>

This is a real shot in the dark, but here goes:<br>
Is it possible that, at some point in the process, the precomposed
characters were decomposed and then put back together in a way
that affected the output? If the font in use contains precomposed

this might happen. ???</div></div></blockquote><div><br><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;font-size:small">I guess I can try putting <br><div style="margin-left:40px">\XeTeXinputnormalization=1<br>\tracinglostchars=1<br>\tracingonline=1</div></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;font-size:small">into the preliminaries.
