This is still broken in Ubuntu 18.04 bionic. It's notoriously annoying
with text or filenames coming from OSX, which keeps diacritics separate
from the character they're combined with, also for characters that have
a distinct unicode code point for the combined variant.

Bug description:
  In the Liberation Mono font, combining diacritical marks are drawn
  over the following character rather than the preceding.

  According to the Unicode standard since at least version 3.0, chapter
  3.6, verse D56, combining characters apply to the preceding base
  character. However, this font renders them on the following base
  character.

  Version info:
  Ubuntu Intrepid
  ttf-liberation 1.04~beta2-2

  To reproduce:
  1. Open gedit.
  2. Type the following three code points: U+0061 U+0301 U+0065 (Latin small letter a, Combining acute accent, Latin small letter e).
  3. Via Edit|Preferences|Font & Colors|Font, select the Liberation Mono font.

  Expected:
  * Two grapheme clusters are displayed: Latin small letter a with acute accent, Latin small letter e.

  Observed:
  * The grapheme clusters displayed are: Latin small letter a, Latin small letter e with acute accent.
