the color-coded diacritics are not working anymore #4

If this feature causes too many problems, then we can look for alternatives, such as coloring the entire word, though I would prefer the current idea if possible.

It's not at all a problem with the code, but with the fonts. Calibri is a Windows-licensed font, and whoever happens not to have it on their system gets a font with totally different metrics. We could either load a font from elsewhere to ensure consistency™ or use one of the 12 web-safe fonts, whose non-licensed replacements are metrically identical. Once that's done, we can align the extent of the colouring one last time and call it a day.

I see. The problem is it's hard to come by fonts that have good-looking (easy to read) tone diacritics.

My operating system substitutes Lato for Calibri, and it seems to have them large enough. Try to see for yourself if Lato would suit you; if so, we can have it fetched from Google Fonts.
