TECH: combining diacritics

In the course of typing up Gwr sound changes, I would like to be able to do
an UC V with acute accent. (I have succeeded in doing LC v+accent, but all
the acutes I've tried somehow aren't visible with V.)

Am using Microsoft Reference Serif font; I could also use Thryomanes-- those
two plus Lucida Sans Unicode (no!) are the only fonts I have with a full
range of chars. Any suggestions?

Another question: I converted an earlier section of this to .pdf and put it
up on my website-- http://cinduworld.tripod.com/gwr_soundchange.pdf -- was
everything readable (never mind content)? Especially the occasional glottal
stop-- IIRC rather than MS Ref's version, I used Thryomanes' because it
looks better. Am doing same in the current paper.  If the recipient computer
doesn't have Thryomanes, will the [?] still be readable?
