PLOTTEXT:accents
To place one of the special accents on a character, insert the
appropriate command immediately after that character. The accent
will be centred over or under that character. Not all fonts allow
for accents, for example, the cyrillic font or the hiragana font.
The accent will be positioned fairly well over the lower case
letters a, e, o, and u, BUT NOT PERFECTLY POSITIONED. You can
use EDGR to relocate the accent if its position is not to your liking.
The following line will have an umlaut over the letter u and a
breve over the letter a.
