[Gimp-user] How do I put diacritics in text?

[Alex Bell <afjbell bigpond net au>]

I'm afraid I have minimal knowledge of GIMP; I only use it to design 
simple covers for the ebooks I design for the free ebook library at 
www.mobileread.com.

The ebook I'm about to start working on is 'The Adventures of Elizabeth 
in Rügen'. As you can see the u in Rügen has an umlaut, but I can't work 
out how to produce that with GIMP. The text is white on a black 
background, so I can't make an image of the text and use that.

Can anyone tell me how to put diacritics in text?
