screen-shot

With the latest development snapshot (gnome-continuous image) 
German Umlaut characters are displayed on top of the character following it.

does not apply to all fonts, I presume.

at least gnome-initial-setup and some nautilus dialogues are affected.

fonts look fine in the font viewer.

It looks like only the character ü is affected.  ö and ä work fine.
Comment 5 Bjørn Lie 2016-02-20 10:57:11 UTC 
That looks exactly like the bug I just filed

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94228

I found that reverting harfbuzz to 1.1.3 fixed the issue for me.
Comment 6 Matthias Clasen 2016-02-20 21:56:52 UTC 
Keeping this bug open and on the 3.20 target list to track it.
Comment 7 Arnaud B. 2016-02-20 23:47:41 UTC 
Same for â ê & ô.

All affected glyphs have a mark-to-mark anchor.

Looks like a Cantarell font issue: Bug 762386

This report can be closed on my part.
