Try again with a font having the COMBINING accents! You probably used an 
inadequate font so that GNU Emacs had to use two different fonts. Which you can 
check yourself by putting the text cursor on the basic character or on the 
accent and typing each time C-u C-x =.

For tests you could try to use Lucida Grande, a quite rich font. A good 
mono-spaced font is DejaVu Sans Mono. Lucida Sans Typewriter from Java is also 
a pretty good candidate. (Create a library in Font Book and populate it with 
the TT fonts!)
