No, my "definition" said: "A clever browser could construct a
representation, by decomposing a character into a base character and a
combining diacritic mark." I don't think any browser does that. It would
mean that when a browser sees, say, n with dot above as a single precomposed
character and finds out that it hasn't got a glyph for it, it decomposes it
into plain n (which it has got) and combining dot above (which it might
have).
What FF and Opera do is that they pick up the precomposed character from
another font. Just what IE 7 does in this case, but probably using a
different replacement font. (Sorry, I'm too tired to check now.)

Hardly. Arial is much more limited than Arial Unicode MS.

I have almost learned to hate Tahoma. Especially in 12 pt size, it looks far
too dense, and in larger sizes it is, well, too large for most purposes
(excluding headings).
