User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.9; rv:26.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/26.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20131205075310

Steps to reproduce:

Open http://www.wdl.org/en/item/10643/


Actual results:

The author's name should have two combining half marks forming a single half circle over te "ie"

This is what happens in all browsers on Windows 7+ and with specific fonts on OS X 10.8+.


Expected results:

The half marks are unconnected and misaligned
