I am confused.  You need to ELI5 - explain like I am five!

How about the resulting glyph.  Do they superspose or do they stand
apart?

My .emacs explicitly says "Lohit Tamil" and I do have Lohit
installed.

        (set-face-font 'default "fontset-default")
        (set-fontset-font "fontset-default" 'tamil "Lohit Tamil")
