as I recall, the standard ImageWriter fonts (New York, Geneva, etc.) do not
include capital versions of all the accented vowels but the screen versions
of the standard LaserWriter fonts (Times, Helvetica, etc.) do; I believe
they are shift-option keys, not option keys followed by capitals.
I'm not sure, though... check it out in key caps.
