If you have Unicode input files, usually the best thing to do is to
use XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX to process your files. pdflatex groks a subset
of Unicode with the inputenc package, but it's only a subset. IME
XeLaTeX does a much better job, even though it's claimed to be
slower. (I never use pdflatex, so I can't really compare).
If for some reason you need or want to use pdflatex, then I doubt
there's a solution.
Thanks. 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).
as pointed out in my reply to other branch of this thread perhaps try
with something like
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{Times New Roman}
in preamble, for XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX.
(notice that on Mac OS X, the font must be a system font for XeTeX,
i.e. it will not find fonts from TeXLive if accessed by names like this,
except if some measures are taken -- like adding symlinks from ~/Library/Fonts
to the TeXLive repertories)
(no problem with LuaLaTeX)
J.-F.
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?
