2. Reduce the font-size until the tildes ˜ become indistinguishable from the macrons ¯.
Rendered in 13pt Regular
Sample Glyphs:
õ
Description:
At size 18 and less õ looks o that doesn't have tilde but simple line on it. I don't know if it's a bug but there may be different similar letters in other languages. Õ is estonian font.
