committed to CVS an improvement for Serif.

At least corrected the stacked accents which were meant to be side-by-side.

Note that part of the problem here is that these characters are composed of an already accented letter, such as E-tilde, with another accent. To make the space consistent, the accent and caron must maintain the wide spacing of E-tilde.

In the Unicode samples however, they have compressed this spacing.
It would be a good thing to take such measures here too, or those high accents will certainly get chopped sometimes.

Many of the capital letters in Latin Extended Additional are very tall due to multiple stacked accents, e.g.
U+1EA4 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH CIRCUMFLEX AND ACUTE

However, according to the Unicode examples, they aren't meant to be stacked. It shows the multiple accents on tall letters positioned side-by side.

Happens in all faces.
