Something is wrong.

I managed to get the UTF-8 input right (via "recode"), but the text in the
PDF is not diplaying properly.  It's as if there was a "backspace" emitted
after the accentuated character, and there is some overwriting of the
letters that follow (they are shifted to the left by approximatively
1.5 characters).

If I emit the unaccentuated letter, everything is fine.

What's the problem?  I'm using 2.6.3.
