Bug Description

U+0311 Combining inverted breve is in the Unicode category "Mark, Non-Spacing".
It is a non-spacing character and should therefore have zero-width.

If it is used it should overlap the previous character. When GPOS features for marks are added it should be positioned with anchors on base characters.

I can't reproduce this problem in version 0.80. I used this command:

pango-view --font="Ubuntu 48" --markup --text='<span fallback="false"> ȏo ȎO</span>'

The inverted breves appeared over top of the letters as expected. Denis or anyone else, if the problem still exists, could you please provide steps to reproduce it?

Recent font shapers ignore the advance width of combining marks. This wasn’t the case in 2010 when this was reported.
One should be able to reproduce the bug in 10.10 for example.

The advance width has been fixed in the current release candidate.
