    While trying to convince a correspondent that base letter + combining
    mark is the way to go for his orthography, I come across the unexpected
    phenomenon that some fonts render U+0051 U+0307 as a "P" with dot above,
    instead of "Q" with dot above.

    This happens in several programs (MS Excel, MS Word, f.i., but not, say,
    in BabelMap), in Windows XP SP2 environment.
