[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hello!

When I grep through my XeLaTeX files Emacs.app fails to display file  
names correctly:

[Emacs.app de-composed.pdf (application/applefile, inline)]

[Emacs.app de-composed.pdf (application/pdf, inline)]

[Message part 4 (text/plain, inline)]

GNU Emacs 23.0.60 at least produces this look:

[Emacs 23.0.60 de-composed.pdf (application/applefile, inline)]

[Emacs 23.0.60 de-composed.pdf (application/pdf, inline)]

[Message part 7 (text/plain, inline)]

A similiar failure can be observed when typing <some character>C-q 0  
3 2 3 <some non-decimal event> or <some character>C-q 1 4 4 3 in  
octal. In GNU Emacs 23.0.60 C-q 0 3 2 3 produces a COMBINING DOT  
BELOW, which is combined with the previously typed character. In the  
end something ugly appears, as shown above. In Emacs.app only a blank  
spot is left. C-u C-x = shows:

	        character: ̣ (803, #o1443, #x323)
	preferred charset: unicode (Unicode (ISO10646))
	       code point: 0x0323
	           syntax: w 	which means: word
	         category: ^:Combining
	Combining diacritic or mark
	      buffer code: #xCC #xA3
	        file code: #xCC #xA3 (encoded by coding system utf-8-unix)
	          display: composed to form "̣" (see below)
	
	Composed using this font:
	  nil:-apple-NimbusMonL-medium-normal-normal-Regular-10-*-*-*-*-*- 
iso10646-1
	by these glyphs:
	  [0 0 803 0 6 0 5 5 0 [0 0 6]]
	
	Character code properties: customize what to show
	  name: COMBINING DOT BELOW
	  old-name: NON-SPACING DOT BELOW
	  general-category: Mn (Mark, Nonspacing)
	
	There are text properties here:
	  fontified            t

Using a font like Lucida Grande that has ọ, o, and COMBINING DOT  
BELOW, I cannot compose ọ from o and COMBINING DOT BELOW. Again, in  
GNU Emacs 23.0.60 this at least creates something ugly.

Hi, sorry it's taken so long to get back to you about this. I can
reproduce the issue in 24.5, but not in 25, so I'm going to close this
bug as fixed.
