Re: [ft] Large delta_y for hinted vs unhinted "COMBINING CARON BELOW" glyph

[Nigel Tao]

If it provides any further debugging leads, on the same font
(DejaVuSans-Oblique.ttf), uni032D (COMBINING CIRCUMFLEX ACCENT BELOW,
glyph index 734) is a sub-glyph of the uni1E18 compound glyph (LATIN
CAPITAL LETTER E WITH CIRCUMFLEX BELOW, glyph index 2077).

Freetype's hinted uni1E18 glyph also looks wrong here, but unlike
viewing uni032D in isolation, some of the circumflex's points appear
at a reasonable place. Some still don't, as they're so low that
they're off-screen in ftgrid. When viewing uni032D in isolation, *all*
of the circumflex's points are too low.

Screenshots of uni1E18 attached.
