I am no fan of computer modern fonts and usually use Helvetica or Times-Roman instead. To my horror TeXtures cannot provide accents (e.g., \', \", \i etc) when using these fonts; it reports:- No such Character ^^S in font Helvetica! when the accent is found (the ^^S varies, depending on the offending accent) and omits it. Thus na\"{\i}e is printed: nave. It appears as nave is the PostScript output also. Have I missed something really obvious or are PostScript fonts a no-go area in TeXtures (in which case why provide them?).
