[...] some text drawing engines draw decomposed characters ("o" followed by " ̈" -> "ö") differently compared to their composite equivalents ("ö") and this may be perceived as better or worse. I'd like to offer an option to replace some decomposed characters with their composite equivalent before drawing but since other characters may look worse, I don't want to do a full normalization.

Isn't this an issue properly solved by various normal forms?
