Thread: How to write cyrillic letters with acute-sign (for example: ходи́ть)

It depends on a font. Some fonts have the stress mark displaced. Verdana seems to work fine for me in Chrome.
BUT (!) if you consistently see the stress mark over the consonants you can adjust for the change and move them in your mind towards the closest right-hand vowel As you may know, consonants are never stressed.

The bug in Verdana is well known. It was fixed in Windows Vista. Chrome seems to have a work-around for the bug. It works in Ubuntu even with the old font.
