The trouble here is that the code expects the property `prop' obtained
from find_composition to be a valid composition, which is a cons. So
probably the way to fix this is to stick in a couple of
COMPOSITION_VALID_P checks into update_compositions, around
composite.c:514.
The strange thing, though, is that the elisp manual describes the
composition property as follows (documented by Handa on 2007-04-19):
`composition'
This text property is used to display a sequence of characters as a
single glyph composed from components. For instance, in Thai a
base consonant is composed with the following combining vowel as a
single glyph. The value should be a character or a sequence
(vector, list, or string) of integers.
* If it is a character, it means to display that character
instead of the text in the region.
* If it is a string, it means to display that string's contents
instead of the text in the region.
* If it is a vector or list, the elements are characters
interleaved with internal codes specifying how to compose the
following character with the previous one.
Is this a mistake? The assumption made in the Emacs code is that the
only valid form for a `composition' property is a cons cell. For
example, the definition of COMPOSITION_VALID_P in composite.h:96 is
#define COMPOSITION_VALID_P(start, end, prop) \
(CONSP (prop) \
&& .....
So it looks like the documentation needs to be fixed too.
