Description
The combine? argument to draw-text seems to shift circumflexes one character space to the left. The program:
#lang racket
(require racket/draw)
(define (draw t combine?)
(define b (make-object bitmap% 100 100))
(define dc (send b make-dc))
(send dc translate 20 20)
(send dc scale 5 5)
(send dc draw-text t 0 0 combine?)
b)

Research direction
Run the provided Racket program and start at the racket/draw draw-text entry point, focusing on the combine? argument and circumflex positioning. Done means combined diacritics are drawn over the intended character rather than shifted one character to the left, while the shown reproduction remains otherwise unchanged.
