Hi @Misouri, this is to let you know that Adobe Kis has been updated to address some of your concerns.
The main issue is that Kis is kerned quite tightly, which means that the corrections made to L’ and ’A are compounding in the combination L’A, which ultimately leads to a crash of L and A.
The new version 1.013 adds a feature which solves all such over-kerned combinations in context (see attached screenshot).
To update your copy of Kis, please remove the family via the CC application, and re-sync it.

Aldine contains a number of ornamental glyphs, which may exceed the line spacing in certain situations. In which application are you seeing the problem you’re describing?
Your note about the combination fè (and fä fï, and other such cases) is also valid, however it is not addressable using purely technical means. In other words, this constitutes a design problem.
Solving this completely would require significant updates to the design of the font (not only the accents, but also the f), which should have been considered by the original designer.
In other words, while this won’t be solved in Kis, thank you for reminding us of those important points to look out for in future designs.
To offer an alternative perspective – overlapping glyphs are not necessarily bad, in my personal opinion, huge gaps of whitespace, introduced to avoid such clashes are worse.
