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!)
