testcase

This is an old bug, I'm not sure it is still valid but that was reported by Chrome users on Windows XP and Vista. I don't have these Windows versions so I can not verified the bug, but hopefully the attached testcase should allow someone to do so. Basically, we had to add some workarounds in MathJax to remap the characters to other code points as well as using a separate WinChrome font. That would be great if we could get rid of that.

In the first set of characters from the attachment, each line has two chars (one from a MathJax font and one from the WinChrome font) that should match. In the second set of characters, the combining characters should be visible. That was not the case on old version of Chrome.
