I don't think most Americans think that the A with a circle on
top is an accented character so I think your generalization is
unjustified. What seems to be the problem is that you are using
an American version of TeX when you should be using a Swedish
version. For example, would you use the regular old plain TeX
to typeset arabic? Of course not. You couldn't. Maybe someone
has made a Swedish version of TeX you can use. You can check
TUGboat.
Since you are Swedish, I'll take your word for it that
the letters look lousy. We don't speak a hell of a lot of
Swedish here in America so the error is somewhat understandable.
This is not a flame. (Although the appearance of such a disclaimer
is somewhat paradoxical).
