Wrong alignment with combining diacritics

[SverreStausland]

As addressed last year on TeX.sX (http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/126206/why-choose-lualatex-over-xelatex), the alignment of combining diacritics is not right. The alignment is correct when compiling with XeLaTeX, on the other hand.

\documentclass{article} \usepackage{fontspec} \setmainfont [ Path = C:/Windows/Fonts/, Extension = .otf, UprightFont = LinLibertine_R, BoldFont = LinLibertine_RZ, ItalicFont = LinLibertine_RI, BoldItalicFont = LinLibertine_RZI ]{libertine}

\begin{document} \textit{wund\textbf{\underline{V\char"0306}}de} \end{document}

Compiled with LuaLaTeX: ![Uploading lualatex.png . . .]()

Weird, only the Libertine “RZI” variant appears to exhibit the problem. Here’s a minimal example reproducing the behavior in Context:

The tests for Latex and Plain are:

Closing as a font bug; see Hans’ reply in the thread cited above.

Attempts at opening a ticket on the Libertine tracker failed: Sourceforge explodes in my face when posting a ticket. I’ll try again once they moved their tracker away from SF.

Let’s see whether somebody notices. There’s a lot of pretty similar issues on that tracker.
