Fine to me with all these accents that Andries mentioned. And I do not care too much saying that /o is accented, although that was not what I learned in school. So we move / and o to be accents. So it goes: When a letter is composed of an accent and a latin letter you specify the accent first. Accents used: ' ` : , ~ ^ / o - . v u " and maybe more. Special letters not accented: ae AE oe OE ij IJ ss. The dotles i might be .i - which read normally is meaningless - there is a dot there already. The problems with the u and v accents are that they may lead to names already defined in the standard troff. I have not investigated this, maybe Andries know more about the possibilities.
