Yes, probably – at least that the DejaVu maintainers can comment on
this problem.

I have no idea, since I don't use Windows.  As mentioned earlier, you
might check the `Aringacute' glyph in arial.ttf – if it is cropped,
you probably have an old engine that suffers the usWin{Ascent,Descent}
limitations.
