I'm not sure this is the same issue we are talking about, but here are
the instructions anyway:

 . Move the cursor to where this ligature is displayed
 . Use "C-x =" to display the buffer position of the ligature
 . Attaching GDB to Emacs, then type these commands:

    (gdb) source /path/to/emacs/src/.gdbinit
    (gdb) thread 1
    (gdb) break set_cursor_from_row
    (gdb) continue

The breakpoint in set_cursor_from_row will break soon enough.  The
first time it breaks, just type "continue".  Second time it breaks,
type:

    (gdb) pgrow

This will show you the entire screen line (a.k.a. "glyph row") where
the cursor is displayed, which is also the screen line of the
ligature.  Here's how a similar line with ligatures looks here:

  (gdb) pgrow

   79  711: COMP[77 (2..2)] pos=936 w=9 a+d=17+4 face=24 MB

Each line here describes a glyph on display.  Where it says "CHAR[X]",
that's a character glyph of character X.  Where it says
"COMP[n (i..j)]", that's a composition whose cached ID is n, and i and
j are the characters in the composed sequence represented by this
glyph.

The "pos=NNNN" part is the buffer position from where each glyph came.

Find the cache ID of the composition which shows the problematic
ligature by its buffer position which you displayed at the beginning.
Let's assume that the ID of that composition is 69 (from the glyph
row shown above).  Then type:

   (gdb) pp composition_gstring_from_id(69)

This will show the composition cached at slot 116.  The structure of
the composition is described in the doc string of
composition-get-gstring.  Here's what I get here for the ligature
cached at slot 69:

    (gdb) pp composition_gstring_from_id(69)
    [[#<font-object "-outline-Cascadia Code-regular-normal-normal-mono-16-*-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1"> 45 45 62] 69 [0 0 45 1970 9 1 10 17 4 nil] [1 1 45 1969 9 0 10 17 4 nil] [2 2 62 2728 9 0 9 17 4 nil]]

It clearly shows the font used to display the 3 glyphs of this
ligature and the data of the 3 glyphs themselves.

The idea is then to compare what you get from the "bad" display with
what you get for the same ligature in a fresh Emacs session, where the
display should be good.

Let me know if you need more help or more detailed instructions or
have questions.

Thanks.
