Please describe the problem:
When a swedish letter U+00E5 LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH RING ABOVE is rendered
Pando displays the correct glyph. However, if the canonical representation of
this character, U+0061 + U+030A is rendered, the result looks quite bad. Pango
seems to use some form of generic combining rendering rather than using the
correct glyph.

I have included a screenshot from gedit that demonstrates the problem.

Steps to reproduce:
Since Mac OS X always uses the canonical representation, just save a file with
swedish characters and read it in GNOME. This is particularily annoying when one
has file names with these characters in them.

1: Open a text editor on Mac OS X.
2: Type some swedish text, includign the characters åäöÅÄÖ
3: Save the file
4: Copy the file to a GNOME system
5: View the file in gedit

Actual results:
The broken rendering should be visible.

Expected results:
I expect to see the swedish character rendered correctly

Does this happen every time?
Yes

Other information:
The problem also appears to occur in Pango 1.8, although I have not personally
tried it.
