Such combining characters and and also double width characters may
still remain as separate issues for Org table alignment and maybe the
patches from Eric Abrahamsen are required to resolve one or both.

Several steps to go with choosing font(s) and probably tweaking
set-fontset-font which I don't have much insight neither.
Regarding the choice of font: Is there any font that is monospaced
even in the Tibetan range at all? What does a "cat" (not "less" or any
other ncurses) of your file look like in different terminal emulators
like xterm, gnome-terminal etc. on different OSes? What does "locale"
from these terminal emulators tell?
Regarding a possible first step with Emacs set-fontset-font: How did
the glyph for INFINITY from the test look like, was this aligned for
you?:
