You wouldn't want to actually define your active é to switch to lm(r),
since you might want an italic/whatever e-acute.
I was merely thinking of a test:
\font\lmr = texnansi-lmr10.tfm
\def\eacute{\char"E9 }
\lmr An e-acute from lmr: \eacute
\end
And see if the resulting typeset e-acute is searchable as you desire.
Making all the myriad definitions to make the characters work in
real documents is another matter, but that's "just" macros. --best, karl.
