I've looked at the related code, and it least the first part doesn't
seem to be too hard: it just needs expanding some APIs. The relevant
function is autocmp_chars, called from composition_reseat_it, which is
called by the CHAR_COMPOSED_P macro. The only problem to solve is how
to determine what font to use if the composition includes more than 2
characters, and Emacs selects more than 2 fonts to display them (e.g.,
3-character composition, each character needs a different font).
