Not exactly. I get, in tcsh:

        Fatal error (11)Abort (core dumped)
        Exit 134

The version number 24.1.1 has in the first two fields the major and the minor version number of GNU Emacs. GNU Emacs releases are identified by the major and minor version number. The last or right-most field is the number of your build, in this case your first try.

So you used the right sources. Are you used to working on the command line? And to patch source files? Did you save the output from running configure? (In that case you could send me privately the output.)

Yes, I am. I'll reply privately.
 

By putting that to your customisation:

        '(read-quoted-char-radix 16)

you could insert any Unicode character by typing C-q <the hex number><something non-hex like cursor movement, SPACE, RET, ESC)>. This worked to produce d͡.

C-x <RET> <4-digit hexadecimal code point> seems to have the exact same results. (Is it still a "digit" if it's hexadecimal? :)

However, as expected, there is still the rendering problem with combining characters, whichever input method I use.

As I said, I think there's nothing else to do but find a nice font as a temporary workaround (or use the mac patch you linked). I will hold off a little before filing a bug, but after this discussion, I can't see how it's anything but.

Cheers,
Dan
