You must reencode the font, so that the accented characters are
accessible.  The is a nice example of this in the blue book.  

Later versions of PostScript have an ISOLatin1Encoding vector that you
can use to get this standard accented encoding.  The code would be
something like:

/ISOHelvetica
    /Helvetica findfont dup length dict begin
    { 1 index /FID eq { pop pop } { def } ifelse } forall
    /Encoding ISOLatin1Encoding def
    currentdict end definefont pop

/ISOHelvetica findfont 10 scalefont ....

If you don't have ISOLatin1Encoding, here is what it is, so you can
define it using "EXITSERVER":

---------------------------

If you want a different encoding, this can also be achieved.  Adobe
requires that you put both the accents and the unaccented versions of
the characters in the encoding, along with the accented version.  So
you must have an encoding for "grave" & "a" if you want to use "agrave".
