<p>Hello Darren,<br>
<br>
This is a common problem. It is caused by incomplete (not well-formed) fonts, and the only good solution is, unfortunately, to choose another font or edit the existing one.<span style="mso-ligatures:none;mso-fareast-language:EN-AU"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p>Please take a look at this post at StackOverflow for the deeper insight on what's going on.
<a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/45469424/">https://stackoverflow.com/a/45469424/</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p>If the font does contain necessary glyphs in PUA (Private Use Area), RenderX XEP is able to find the "1st floor" substitutes for canonical glyphs.<br>
If not, XEP falls back to using canonical glyphs which end up drawn on the "2nd floor", overlap, and visually appear too high above the consonant.<br>
In this case, you have no other choice but to find another font or to finalize the development of the existing one by adding the missing glyphs.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>From the practical experience, we find Arial Unicode and AngsanaUPC (both distributed with Windows) as well as FreeSerif incomplete.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>On the other hand, Laksaman, Norasi, Loma, and AngsanaUPC found elsewhere on the Web are proven to work well.<br>
However, keep in mind to check the licenses when you download it from the Web sites around the Internet and use it in your projects.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">We’ve had an issue reported by a Thai customer. Apparently the diacritics above some of the characters are superimposed when there are multiple marks. I don’t pretend to understand the language at all but I guess the sample they sent doesn’t
look right. So is this something I am doing wrong, or a limitation we’re not aware of? See example below where you can see in the top selection of text there is a second diacritic above some of the characters, and in the PDF screenshot, those second marks
are overlayed.<o:p></o:p></p>
