Thanks, noted.

IIUC, the face that is actually used in a glyph string is the one
returned by FACE_FOR_CHAR, which returns an adjusted face if the
character passed to it is multibyte.

What I'm asking is whether or not the adjustments made by FACE_FOR_CHAR
are also made to the mouse face (which I think they are not, because
there is only one mouse face at any given time, while the highlighted
area can span many faces that could have been adjusted for many
different characters).  Thanks.
