You need to use a font that has glyphs both for a (every font will
fulfill that requirement) and the diacritics. Emacs can only compose
characters if their glyphs come from the same font.

You are not looking for a font with good Unicode coverage, you are
looking for a font with good coverage of Latin diacritics.
