You'll need to select a font which has those characters (I don't think
that the default stroke fonts have accented characters), and also
select the correct encoding (presumably either ISO-8859-1 or UTF-8).

AFAICT, this has to be done globally, in the preferences. There
doesn't appear to be a way to set the font or encoding for an
individual layer.
