Font help?

Argh and brain melt.
I am trying to find a diagram that I know exists somewhere on the interweb; it is very similar to this one...

but it also includes information for accent characters placed above the top of capital letters; has anyone seen it or know where I can find it?

Right this instant, reading LJ is a displacement activity from veneering over the SDL_ttf library so I can convert TrueType fonts into bitmaps optimised for our display.
Some displacement activity it's turning out to be. Grumble.
(No, I've not seen a similar diagram with diacritics in it. My rendering engine is much simpler: each glyph just has an image, an offset vector (where to put the image relative to the cursor point) and an advance vector (what to add to the cursor point). There's some elegant cunningness in the metrical system that lets us lay out text nicely but if I told you that I'd have to kill you. In fact I've already said too much, so maybe I should kill you now…
