Weird Line Spacing When Highlighted & Problems With German Umlauts

[piet-maier]

I don't know what exactly causes this bug, but I noticed that sometimes german umlauts (Ä, Ö, Ü) are displayed without the two dots, making them look like different letters (A, O, U).

So far I have only encountered this bug when using Safari. I think it has something to do with the - very weird - behaviour this font has when used over multiple lines. I don't know how to describe the problem, so I'll just add some screenshots. Randomly, some lines will have a different line height, but this is only visible when highlighting the text. The letters itself are placed correctly.

These two images show the exact same text, only with different font sizes. Randomly, there are these gaps between the selection. And whatever causes this also causes the dots above capital umlauts to not be visible in the affected lines, meaning that in the same paragraph some will and some won't be visible. I also noticed that this does not only change with font size, but also with page zoom, in case that makes any difference.

Here is an image of umlauts being or not being visible. (I simply added them to the last line of the first image, which is one of the weirdly behaving ones.)
