--- Comment #3 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote at utsa.edu> ---
Hmm, but then these are no Unicode defined diacritic ligatures are there? 

Position of the combining glyph is defined by the font--but in general a
combining cedilla (0x0327 - COMBINING CEDILLA) should always be below--while a
combining circumflex (0x0302 - COMBINING CIRCUMFLEX ACCENT  ) should be above
the target glyph positioned as designed for the grapheme in the font. IMHO
LibreOffice handles this exactly correct.

Instead believe you need to select Unicode point for the correct combining
glyph for the layout you need--perhaps COMBINING LATIN SMALL LETTER CEDILLA
(0x1dd7) 

Try this:  U+0065U+0302U+1DD7 with <alt>+X toggle
or the other stacking order U+0065U+1DD7U+0302

Alternate forms/positioning could be supported (Graphite or OpenFont type) but
the font must support it--and the feature code set for the Character property.

Visual appeal of simple stacking of combining digraph will depend on font.

Likewise the "kerning" you note, is a font issue--try a correctly designed font
like Noto Sans or Noto Serif for correct positioning of the combining
diacritics.

IMHO => NAB
