of the following substitution file:
/\\begin{verbatim.*}/,/\\end{verbatim.*}/!{
s+e`+\\accent18 e+g
s+e'+\\accent19 e+g
s+a^+\\accent94 a+g
s+a`+\\accent18 a+g
s+u`+\\accent18 u+g
s+e^+\\accent94 e+g
s+o^+\\accent94 o+g
s+a"+\\accent"7F a+g
s+e"+\\accent"7F e+g
s+o"+\\accent"7F o+g
s+u"+\\accent"7F u+g
s+A"+\\accent"7F A+g
s+O"+\\accent"7F O+g
s+U"+\\accent"7F U+g
s+i"+\\accent"7F \\i +g
s+i^+\\accent94 \\i +g
s+u"+\\accent"7F u+g
