The NS font driver is still part of Emacs even if it has bugs. What kind of bugs do you have in mind? If the characters aren't composed, then the only bug I can think of is that nsfont.m somehow processes the character metrics in the font incorrectly. To test this hypothesis Someone(TM) should show the character metrics using some external tool, and compare that with what nsfont.m calculates. Or, alternatively, show that exactly the same font does produce a correct display on another platform; then we could compare the two font back-ends we have for these platforms. As long as none of this is done, adding more pictures to this discussion doesn't help us make any progress. And I cannot understand why requests for showing "C-u C-x =" are consistently ignored by the OP.
