Yes, it was my friendly outlook that decided that lines should start
with caps, luckily my IDE (Eclipse) doesn't share that opinion :-)

I'm quite sure this is not an font issue for several reasons:
-I'm not aware of any font that doesn't contain the é character
-If I use win1252 the character shows properly
-If I insert the character in the same applications it looks good at
insert time but square at select time
-I've tested this on 4 different machines (all windows XP/2000 though)
