For OpenType, fonts are supposed to have attachment points for each
glyph which allow the combining glyphs properly to arrange.

When I tried you example, « n̩ m̩ l̩ » in my terminal emulator (using
DejaVu Sans Mono), all of the combined glyphs looked perfect.

They also look right with Dejavu Serif.

But fonts which lack attachment points (notably including all of the
non-Free fonts I could test) the results are very poor.
