            Bug ID: 315642
           Summary: Unable to render combining accent with some characters
                    in Ubuntu and Liberation fonts
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified

Example HTML file

In https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress_%28linguistics%29 the following strings
occur:

«земли́ (genitive of "earth, land") vs. зе́мли (plural of "earth, land") in
Russian»
«In Russian and Ukrainian dictionaries, stress is indicated with an acute
accent (´) on a syllable's vowel (example: вимовля́ння)»

In all the native KDE applications I've tried (Konqueror with KHTML or WebKit,
Rekonq, Konsole and Kate) and using Ubuntu or Liberation fonts, these combining
acute accents display as empty rectangles.

This occurs in KDE 4.9 and 4.10. Other fonts render OK. Firefox displays the
characters OK using these, and other, fonts.

Experimenting, I've found some other examples which do and don't render
correctly. For instance, with some Greek letters the accent renders correctly,
but with other Greek letters it doesn't.

I'll attach a small example HTML file and a screenshot of it from Rekonq.
