Why this is a problem: I need to be able to produce o-with-diaeresis,
with a
second accent (grave, acute, circumflex) above it, for texts written in
the de facto
standard orthography of the Hopi language (spoken in Arizona, USA). A
number of orthographies for American Indian languages (and other languages
around the world) have similar unusual accented letters, and the Charis
SIL font
was created to allow them to be typeset.
As Jeremias already said, the demand for diacritics support is very low.
If you are not the first then one of a very small number of people to
ask for this feature on this mailing list.
If FOP can't handle combining diacritics marks, then I'll have to
abandon it for
my current project and use XeTeX (or maybe XEP?).
I've seen a couple of people asking for diacritics support on the XEP
mailing list. IIUC, then XEP has some limited support for it, but I
think it was mainly geared for Arabic languages. I could be wrong
though. Antenna House is another alternative, which has a reputation for
being very good at supporting Asian and Arabic languages. I haven't
used it much, but might be worth a try.
Or if you do have time to spare, then help on improving FOP is most
welcome :)
