Tilde on top of letters are sometimes flat at 10pt #517

Open ariasuni opened 4 years ago

ũ (u tilde) at 10pt is very similar to ū (U tilde) (same with A and Ã)

So I have this problem (at least with u) on some versions of Noto Sans but I manage to avoid it with this:

my fontconfig configuration

```xml lcddefault true hintfull rgb ```

Sadly, Hack is bit weird here. Here’s a screenshot (KDE —Qt — font picker, but it happens on e.g. Firefox too) showing the problem:

The text here is:

ãÃẽẼĩĨõÕũŨỹỸ
ũū

This is very annoying because I never know what was written. I guess it’s a logical development after #37.
