Try using
.FP luxisans
at the top of your file.

Yes. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ComposeKey has some
information on the X11 Compose sequence mechanism. I have
been meaning to prepare something in p9p to generate a config
that makes the X11 compose do exactly what p9p does (except
maybe the alt-X for spelling out Unicode by hex). If you make
one, please post it. mklatinkbd is probably a good start.
