It was also my disappointing experience that MSKLC (an old version, admittedly) would not allow dead-key plus other-key to yield a 'ligature', i.e. a sequence of code units. I discovered the problem when I wanted a dead key as an alternative to AltGr - I was finding AltGr a bit uncomfortable to use, but re-engraving the keyboard was not an option. Richard.
