Summary:
The glyph in Helvetica for character U+034B (COMBINING HOMOTHETIC ABOVE) is incorrect. It displays as something resembling the character U+034C instead.

For Mac OS X, this was problem 16710194 and was fixed in Yosemite 10.10b6

Steps to Reproduce:
1: Open Safari browser
2: Navigate to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:TheDJ/applebugreport2


Expected Results:
The first special character in the section named Helvetica, should be a tilde with two dots, the second character one with two tildes. The proper result should resemble the section with Lucida Grande.

This is specified in: http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0300.pdf

Actual Results:
The first character displays as a slightly larger version of the second character. 
An additional screenshot comparison is attached to this report.
