It is clear that the font is not complete. While fixing the font would
be ideal in the long run, I don't think it will be an easy task...
specially if the following step is to produce a cover for languages
with *stacked* diacritics: the task of fixing the font will be
looooong.
I cannot think of a sans serif font replacement that I *really* like.
SIL have a couple of them:

I'll test them soon.
