Description
I spotted some characters where the combining sequence works but the precomposed glyph seems to be missing, with the result that the font system will get a fallback from another font. This makes both encodings of the same character look different:
Precomposed ẽ, ǎ, ǐ, ǒ, ǔ , ǚ are missing, as well as all 'dot below'. There are probably others. Since the combining glyphs work ok, perhaps there's a programmatic way of filling in the precomposed slots with them?
(But curiously, ǐ as a combining sequence doesn't seem to work either.)

Research direction
Reproduce the listed precomposed characters and compare them with their combining sequences, using the screenshot as a visual reference. Inspect the font's glyph sources and determine how missing precomposed glyphs and the ǐ sequence are represented. Done means the listed characters render consistently without fallback and the affected sequences have been checked.
