Summary
Incorrect rendering of Unicode combining half marks on OS X

One of our users reported a problem with the text displayed on
http://www.wdl.org/en/item/10643/
. The author name on that page uses the Unicode combining half marks COMBINING LIGATURE LEFT HALF and COMBINING LIGATURE RIGHT HALF (U+FE20, U+FE21) According to the Unicode 6.0 specification – see page 235-236 of
http://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode6.0.0/ch07.pdf
– two adjacent marks should combine into a single curve. On OS X, the behaviour depends whether font substitution occurred so e.g. the current WebKit Nightly will display the tests at

correctly only for Arial but most other fonts will display incorrectly. Recent versions of Internet Explorer on Windows 7 or later display correctly in all cases. Chrome and Firefox are also inconsistent depending on the OS and font combinations. Previously reported to Apple as

Also happens in TextEdit with the same font, so likely not a WebKit issue.
