This is almost always a font problem. Try experimenting with different
fonts and notice how some do much better than others.

On Windows 7, using Segoe UI, all of the combinations of {e, o, E, O}
plus dot-below plus {acute, grave} that you mentioned look just about
perfect. Windows 8 usually does at least as well.
