If you want to do proper rendering you have to have a fully composed
glyph for each of the proper letters. You cannot just use the combining
characters with a base character, most of the combining diacritics would
not fit as they should on top of lowercase vs uppercase letters,
such as iI jJ aA oO uU etc, in combination with ~'`¨ etc.
