The way to report for rendering for Pango is:
- Look first for duplicates in buzilla.gnome.org (Your bug is probably
#151689, fixed in CVS, and/or #149018)
- If you don't find it, file a new bug including:
- The smallest possible test string that reproduces the problem as
an attachment.
- Information about what font you are testing with
- A screenshot of the incorrect rendering
- An image of what the correct rendering should be
Thanks,
