Combining characters

[Anuradha Ratnaweera <ARatnaweera virtusa com>]

Let me put this in a simple point form using a hypothetical example:

- I have a font (non-unicode) X, which has non latin characters in the range of 32 to 127.
- The same character set is defined in Unicode 3/4 from say 4000.
- Unicode characters 4001 and 4010 form a single composite character which is the same as character 51 in the font X
- There is no Unicode equivalent to the 4001+4010 combination

Now, if I want to render the composite character 4001+4010, how should I proceed?  Is there a way to map unicode sequences to actual (physical) fonts.  Prefarably in the form:

4001,4010 -> X,51
