We are having a bit of trouble with Helvetica and HelveticaN.
Specifically,  the accents \'a and \`a will not work (and \"o).

This behaviour has exibited itself on two different TeX installations.
Is there a legitimate reason for this? It is possible that TeX does not
support all accents for some of the non-serif fonts, or it might be caused by
the fact that Helvetica in both systems is a postscript font?

Just guessing.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
	Michael.
