I think it would be better to use the Latin Modern fonts, that exist  
in OpenType format. They have exactly the same shapes as the Computer  
Modern fonts, but have also much more glyphs, in particular almost  
all the accented and diacritical characters used by any Latin- 
alphabet-based European language.

If you have MacTeX installed on your computer, you can retrieve the  
Latin Modern Opentype fonts at /usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf- 
distfonts/opentype/public/lm and install then in your local Library/ 
fonts directory (for example).
