Hello Eli,

Here is the output of this command for "ö":

        character: ö (246, #o366, #xf6)
preferred charset: unicode (Unicode (ISO10646))
       code point: 0xF6
           syntax: w    which means: word
         category: .:Base, j:Japanese, l:Latin
      buffer code: #xC3 #xB6
        file code: #xC3 #xB6 (encoded by coding system utf-8-unix)
          display: by this font (glyph code)
    xft:-Efont-Efont Biwidth-normal-normal-normal-*-24-*-*-*-d-120-iso10646-1 
(#xB6)

Character code properties: customize what to show
  name: LATIN SMALL LETTER O WITH DIAERESIS
  old-name: LATIN SMALL LETTER O DIAERESIS

  decomposition: (111 776) ('o' '̈')

There are text properties here:

And here for "é" (one of the strangely displayed characters):

        character: é (233, #o351, #xe9)
preferred charset: unicode (Unicode (ISO10646))
       code point: 0xE9
           syntax: w    which means: word
         category: .:Base, c:Chinese, j:Japanese, l:Latin, v:Viet
      buffer code: #xC3 #xA9
        file code: #xC3 #xA9 (encoded by coding system utf-8-unix)
          display: by this font (glyph code)
    x:-efont-fixed-medium-r-normal--24-240-75-75-c-240-iso10646-1 (#xE9)

Character code properties: customize what to show
  name: LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH ACUTE
  old-name: LATIN SMALL LETTER E ACUTE
  general-category: Ll (Letter, Lowercase)
  decomposition: (101 769) ('e' '́')

There are text properties here:
  fontified            t

-------------------------------------------

And here for a normal ASCII character:

        character: a (97, #o141, #x61)
preferred charset: ascii (ASCII (ISO646 IRV))
       code point: 0x61
           syntax: w    which means: word
         category: .:Base, a:ASCII, l:Latin, r:Roman
      buffer code: #x61
        file code: #x61 (encoded by coding system utf-8-unix)
          display: by this font (glyph code)
    x:-efont-fixed-medium-r-normal--24-240-75-75-c-120-iso10646-1 (#x61)

Character code properties: customize what to show
  name: LATIN SMALL LETTER A
  general-category: Ll (Letter, Lowercase)

There are text properties here:
  fontified            t

-------------------------------------------

Unfortunately, I don't understand much of that information...

Does anybody can reproduce this problem?
I'm using Xorg-7.4 on openSUSE-x86_64.

Cheers, Peter
