I want a character that is æ with an acute accent over it.  Right now, I
appear to have two choices:

  1) Have æ followed by an acute accent (by typing æ and then "COMBINING
        ACUTE ACCENT")
  2) Have æ with an acute accent over it, but in a different font (by
        typing "LATIN SMALL LETTER AE WITH ACUTE" from the Extended-B
        code block)

I think #1 is what I tried before, and it worked, but now it definitely
doesn't.  I've attached a ly file (zipped to avoid accidentally
corrupting it in transfer) with four lyric words in it: the first
contains just æ, the second æ followed by "ACUTE ACCENT" (*supposed* to
not combine), the third æ followed by "COMBINING ACUTE ACCENT" (should
combine, but doesn't), and the fourth "LATIN SMALL LETTER AE WITH
ACUTE", which renders but in an ugly different font.

I think this is a problem in Pango. Can you verify whether this works in, say, Gedit, for the century schoolbook font ?
