I don't see this correctly on Thunderbird where they are all jammed together (non-monospace font). In this reply window they are strung out starting with the macroned umlauted u. I wanted to be able (using an appropriate input method) to type an ascii -range character and then something between U+0300 and U+036f to be stacked (lower to higher on top, and higher to lower on bottom) above (below) the base glyph. Some examples: ̡̢̧̨̛̖̗̘̙̜̝̞̟̠̣̤̥̦̩̪̫̬̭̮̯̀́̂̃̄̅̆̇̈̉̊̋̌̍̎̏̐̑̒̓̔̕̚ Looked at in Emacs 23 these are all strung out horizontally. When I copy-past from there into Thunderbird, some are displayed on top of each other. It may be that Emacs ver. 23 w32 build doesn't really do these uncomposed diacriticals yet, or maybe I just need to know about another input method. Thanks anyway, Ed
