What's Wrong?
When Claude Desktop (1.3109.0) on Windows (11 Home 25H2) renders Greek, there are certain accents that it can't render correctly - they are offset from the character the accent is supposed to be on:
<img width="574" height="80" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/7e25c536-7c7c-4618-a177-ad28cc73f5c2" />
This was also an issue in Chrome, but a browser extension will allow me to overwrite your font, so I can render:
<img width="497" height="81" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/f3a2155e-d623-494f-bb9b-7e5eff8aa69a" />
Unfortunately, the desktop app doesn't have a good place for me to hook and replace the font.
This problem is Windows specific - Apple does fine.
What Should Happen?
Expected that Claude could render accents above the letters that they correspond to.

Steps to Reproduce
- Ask Claude to render the sentence "the shepherd leads the sheep to the water and remains with them" to Koine greek on a Windows desktop instance of Claude.
- Try to figure out why the accents are rendered over blank spaces rather than the characters they correspond to.
