That (IIRC) was also something to do with the mapping from the logical
sequence of code points (that is what a Unicode string is) to the list
of "characters" that can be used to fetch the glyphs.   IOW,
"presentation" is something created by looking at combinations in the
logical sequence.

Again, we did not go too far; I think we supported a simple accented
characters but not much more.
