I agree with this opinion. > If you know of any fonts which include combining diacritics but don't > provide single glyphs with the base character and the diacritic combined, > please correct me. My go-to example here is the satirical umlaut over the n in the canonical rendering of the band name Spinal Tap. Combining diacritics can form glyphs that no natural language uses, so no font will supply a precomposed form. > This result may surprise users, that entering exactly the same > keystrokes as they used when writing the document, finds the text in the > document, but fails to find the bookmark. I also agree this is less than ideal.
