  The only GDOS fonts WP out here (at this time, to the best of my knowledge)
are Microsoft Write and WordUp. Neither will support dead-keying, but the
GDOS fonts contain foreign letters and accents, so if you're trying to write
in French, you should have no problem.

  (Unsolicited plug time)

  Now, considering that WordUp costs $80 to MWrite's $135, and that WordUp
has graphics inclusion support, and it's faster than MWrite, has almost all the
features of MWrite, and features true WYSIWYG...

  Beats me, it seems like an easy decision to me.  B-)
