Proper rendering of LATIN LETTER E WITH DOT ABOVE - Ė/ė #777

The desktop app for Windows does not present the character Ė/ė properly. See https://github.com/bibledit/cloud/issues/771#issuecomment-1104618988. I think this definitely needs to be changed since it makes Bibledit for Windows rather unusable for languages that have the Ė/ė. (The desktop app for Mac displays Ė/ė properly.)

The cloud app in certain browsers also renders Ė/ė improperly. Ė/ė is not presented properly in these: Opera (85.0.4341.60 (x86_64)) on Mac OS 10.14.6 (Mojave) Chrome (Version 100.0.4896.127 (Official Build) (x86_64)) on Mac OS 10.14.6 (Mojave)

Ė/ė is presented properly in these: Firefox on Mac OS 10.14.6 (Mojave) Safari on Mac OS 10.14.6 (Mojave) Maybe fixing how the cloud app renders is impossible, since it may be an issue with the browser. I don't think it's important to change this anyway, since one can always use Safari or Firefox and have good rendering.

The Windows edition uses a browser based on CefSharp - https://github.com/cefsharp/CefSharp/. This means that the Windows version embeds a Chromium browser in its app.

The Chrome browser currently does not display the Ė/ė properly. That means that Bibledit for Windows also cannot display the Ė/ė properly.

Once the Chromium / Chrome browsers display the Ė/ė properly, after that soon the CefSharp code will be updated, and then soon the Bibledit edition on Windows will get this fix too.

Hence this failure to display is not a failure on the part of Bibledit itself, but a failure in one of the libraries Bibledit depends on.

Thank you, Teus, for the research you did to figure this out. I guess it's up to the Chromium people to fix the problem.
