The reason \hat is defined using tf is because the math font does not have 
accents. This is the same thing with Euler, and last I checked (about a
months ago), Euler accents work perfectly in MKIV. So, in principle it 
should  work with Fourier also.

I do not have time right now to look into it, maybe sometime next week.

Another possibility is to redistribute the fonts as otf. From what I 
understand from the license 
(http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/utopia/) it is ok to modify the 
fonts (ie change the format) as long as you do not call the modified font 
utopia, and remove all references to Adobe. Are there tools to convert 
type 1 to otf?
