In those now-rare instances where a font lacks an accented character, you 
can create one similar to the way you did formerly by using kerning. Of 
course, you run into those cases where the accent just won't fit the letter 
properly and you end up spending time adjusting the size and baseline shift 
of the accent. I suppose if it is a long composition you could record a 
macro and assign a shortcut -- but I'd rather choose a font with true 
accented glyphs whenever possible.
