Do you see any problems in how Emacs displays the HELLO file?  E.g.,
does the cursor move across the composed characters as a single unit
there?

In other words, is the problem with auto-composing only some
characters, or is it with compositions in general, with the "bitstream
vera sans mono 12" font?
