I’m working on a project that uses unusual diacritic + Cyrillic character combinations – the sort of thing that SIL fonts were designed for. But today I noticed that, in a Note, the quotation of the text that the Note is about is not rendering the diacritics correctly. Either PT is using a font other than that specified in the language of the project – one that doesn’t support diacritic placement; or the font is what we chose – Charis SIL – and something is going wrong in attaching the diacritic.

Here’s a couple of uglier examples of diacritics colliding with other diacritics, or with other letters:

The Web interface seems to render this at a little less than 100% scale, meaning it’s fuzzy. Hover over it and click the double arrow at the bottom right to see the screenshot full size.

I’m trying to duplicate this and I do not see the problem. Are you only seeing it in conflict notes, or in regular project notes as well?

Looks like it’s only in Conflict notes. Sorry for not noticing that.

Sorry I didn’t reply to this earlier. I just checked today with the latest build of Paratext 8, and the problem does not seem to appear. Does this look OK? (Using a test project with text copied from yours).
