Hi Patrick (and other umlaut users),

This can go into cont-new.tex:

\def\smashaccent#1%
   {\dontleavehmode
    \bgroup
    \setbox\scratchbox\hbox{#1}%
    \ifdim\ht\scratchbox>\strutheight \ht\strutbox\strutheight \fi
    \ifdim\dp\scratchbox>\strutdepth  \dp\strutbox\strutdepth  \fi
    \box\scratchbox
    \egroup}

\def\moveaccent#1#2%
   {\smashaccent
      {\dimen0=\fontdimen5\font
       \dimen2=\dimen0
       \advance\dimen2 -#1%
       \fontdimen5\font\dimen2
       #2\relax
       \fontdimen5\font\dimen0}}

I hope that this solves (all) problems,

hans
