When $\hat{}$ is used in a document, it renders about 1em to the left on some PDF applications. I have reason to believe that this may be happening with $\vec{}$ as well. It doesn't appear to be specific to fonts, and occurs under both XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX.
Unfortunately, I don't know what application has this issue. All of my local applications that can open PDF files can render accents correctly (except inkscape but that fails in a different and irrelevant way). I actually encountered the issue when submitting an assignment to crowdmark, so presumable their pdf-to-image converter has this issue. I wrote an email to ask them what converter they use, and I'll post an update if I hear back.
