I've corrected it. The idea is that if a circle above the "A" is
drawn so that they intersect, one must decide what should happen. One
idea is to draw them in layers; perhaps the font model or the
designer should decide.
But it is more complicated than that, because in the Caledonia font
mentioned before, the letter "Å" is exactly as high as the letter
"l" (ell). The letter "A" is in fact compacted downwards, making room
for the circle. One the letter "Ä", the dots are pushed downwards to
the sides of the upper point of the letter "A", but protrudes a bit.
