I ran it through XeLaTeX and that indeed output the composed character correctly aligned, though the vertical positioning looks worse to me than with pdflatex (see attached screenshots; text0.pdf is with pdflatex and text1.pdf with xelatex). Also, to make this AUCTeX-related, after setting LaTeX-command to xelatex and typing C-c C-c in the test1.tex buffer, the compilation failed with the uninformative message "LaTeX: problems after [0] pages" and no log output. But running xelatex from the shell worked fine. Is there something else necessary to use XeLaTeX in AUCTeX? Steve Berman
