Then, I suspect that the font doesn't have glyphs for combining characters (U+0300...U+037F), and thus Emacs uses the other font for those characters, which results in no-composition (Emacs can compose characters of the same font only). If you have a tool to see glyphs of ttf fonts, please check it. If you don't have such a tool, please try the program "otfview" included in libotf-bin package. > This is pretty irritating, as Bitstream Vera Sans Mono seems to be what > Emacs uses by default on Debian...! How about the other programs? For instance, can gedit display the same text correctly with that font? --- Kenichi Handa handa@m17n.org
