Sorry, I found that my build of emacs-24.5 was without m17n-flt (and
libotf). So, the combining was done by Emacs itself using the function
compose-gstring-for-graphic.
I've just rebuild emacs-24.5 with m17n-flt, and see the same problem as
the trunk, which means that the culprit may be in m17n-flt or libotf.
So, I checked m17n-flt and found that the rule for combining latin
characters has a bug when a font has such OTF features as subs, sups.
Please try the attached COMBINING.flt by these steps:
1. make the directory ~/.m17n.d
2. put COMBINING.flt under that directory.
3. run emacs
By the why, the reason of m17n-flt/libotf not taking the shortcut above
is that the Source Code Pro font doesn't have such a feature. I suspect
Uniscribe has a special code for using precomposed glyph without asking
a font about its features. So, perhaps, even with TTF font (i.e. a font
of no OTF features), Uniscribe can display a-grave sequence with the
precomposed glyph.
