Combining characters often do not render combined in emacs 24.5.
For example, the combining short solidus overlay (0x337, o̷) appears
following the character it's meant to combine with---although they are
both highlighted together and so forth.

cf. https://i.imgsafe.org/8369941.jpeg for a visual reference.

This seems similar to bug 17261, but both characters are from the same
font, DejaVu Sans Mono.

Was your Emacs built with libotf and other libraries mentioned in
INSTALL under "Complex Text Layout"?

When I arrange for Emacs to use a font that supports both 'o' and the
solidus, the sequence you show does display as a single glyph.  (My
default font doesn't have the solidus, so I need that special
arrangement.)

The fact that Emacs displays a cursor on both of the characters
clearly shows that Emacs did combine them, but the font and/or the
shaping engine didn't display them overlaid.  Not sure why, perhaps
upgrade your libotf and related libraries?

Does anyone else see this with DejaVu Sans Mono?

Not by doing `C-x 8 / o', which produces 'ø'; but is that the way 
i should be testing this?

No.  Type 'o', then "C-x 8 RET 337".

Done. i get the same result as the OP - i.e. the 'o' and the '/' 
are visually separated - using both DejaVu Sans Mono (Book) and 
Inconsolata-G (my default font).

Thanks.

This is strange.  I'm CC'ing Handa-san, perhaps there's some issue in
libm17n-flt or its database for this case.

For the record, the composition works for me on MS-Windows using the
Arial Unicode MS font, and the composition data looks quite different
(and makes much more sense to me) than what the OP shows:

  Composed with the following character(s) "̷" using this font:
    uniscribe:-outline-Arial Unicode MS-normal-normal-normal-sans-13-*-*-*-p-*-iso8859-1
  by these glyphs:
    [0 1 111 82 7 1 6 14 4 nil]
    [0 1 823 671 0 -5 -2 14 4 nil]

The OP said the composition data he gets is this:

  Composed with the following character(s) "̷" using this font:
    xft:-PfEd-DejaVu Sans Mono-normal-normal-normal-*-13-*-*-*-m-0-iso10646-1
  by these glyphs:
    [0 1 111 82 8 1 7 7 0 nil]
    [0 1 823 703 8 0 8 8 1 nil]

and the offsets in the second vector look wrong to me, FWIW.

My apologies, i accidentally used a non -Q instance to test 
this. :-/ In a -Q instance, it turns out that DejaVu Sans Mono 
(Book) /does/ compose visually:

Composed with the following character(s) "̷" using this font: 
  xft:-unknown-DejaVu Sans 
  Mono-normal-normal-normal-*-13-*-*-*-m-0-iso10646-1 
by these glyphs: 
  [0 1 111 82 8 0 8 8 1 nil] [0 1 823 703 0 0 8 8 1 [-8 0 0]] 

Sorry!

However, Inconsolata-g definitely doesn't compose visually.

Interestingly, when i use `describe-char' on the 'o', i'm told 
that the glyph is sourced from Inconsolata-g, but when i use it on 
the '/', it tells me it's sourced from Gentium ....

I now tried this on Windows 8.1, where the (default) Courier New font
does have a glyph for u+0337, and I see there the same problem as
reported by the OP, including the composition data that shows positive
offsets where I thought negative offsets should be.

Maybe this is something related to the fact that bot DejaVu Sans Mono
and Courier New are monospaced fonts, whereas Arial Unicode MS isn't?

I Hope Handa-san will provide some insight.

Something with your fonts and fontsets, I guess.  If you force Emacs
to use Inconsolata-g for "̷", does the composition happen?

Thanks.

Hmm, i'm having some difficulty doing this. i start GUI Emacs from 
an X terminal via 'emacs -Q'. i then go to the Options menu, 
select "Set Default Font", and choose "InconsolataG Medium"[1]. In 
*scratch*, i type 'o', and confirm with `describe-char' that 
"InconsolataG" is the font used for that character.

i then evaluate:

    (set-fontset-font "fontset-default" '(#x0337 . #x0337) 
    "InconsolataG")

with C-x C-e, which returns nil. If i then move point immediately 
after the previously-typed 'o', and type C-x 8 RET 337, the '/' is 
displayed visually separate from the 'o'. But using 
`describe-char' on it says that Gentium is the font used.

i gather something i'm doing something wrong here, i'm guessing in 
the ELisp .... ?

[1] "InconsolataG" is "Inconsolata-g" renamed by me locally, via 
FontForge, so as to be XLFD-friendly.

Looks like for some reason Emacs rejects InconsolataG as the font for
that character, not sure why.

Sorry for the late response.

I tried to display "o\x0337" by "dejavu sans mono" font and saw no
problem.  I also tried "Inconsolata-g" font and found "\x0337" was not
displayed by that font.   But, this is simply because the font doesn't
have a glyph for "\x0337".

I downloaded "Inconsolata-g" font from
http://www.fantascienza.net/leonardo/ar/inconsolatag/inconsolata-g_font.zip.
Are we using the same font?

i believe so.

Running fc-query(1) on the TTF version in my ~/.fonts folder:

    $ fc-query ~/.fonts/ttf/Inconsolata-g.ttf | grep -E 
    'version|hash'  fontversion: 66191(i)(s) hash: 
    "sha256:6847a2f48296546984ea60c37cc34749375857d137a01a574566d9c73d13e908"(s)

Running fc-query(1) on the TTF version from the above URL:
