Right (well, in most cases).

I stand corrected.
The situation is even more puzzling, since glyphs like uni0305 have a
positive advance width (like 1233 units) in DejaVu Sans Mono, but
browsers still seem to get things right with it. Microsoft Office 2007
Word does not: when I set the font to DejaVu Sans Mono and enter
foo305 Alt X bar
I get fōo (i.e. with the line above a wrong character) first, and then
the b of bar overprints the second o.
Yet, web browsers, even IE 9, seem to get things right here.
