The unicode standard allow to write extended latin charactere multiple way: say for e_acute : é and é

In firefox Windows UTF-8 , the e + acute modifier way render badly, the acute accent is seen over Next charactere (rather than previous one)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. look at a page using UTF-8 modifier latin character

for exemple with the french déjà word 
Actual Results:  
see "de'ja`"

Expected Results:  
déjà

It seems that it is not a font problem (as the glyph are placed, thouch misplaced).

IE render randomly in previous or next charactere
UTF-8 console apps render correctly
