Is there a way to stop accented characters touching top of text box?

I have text boxes in my Access 2000 application that display the names of
people from many different countries. Some of these names have accents on
top of the initial uppercase letter of the name and when I use common fonts
such as Arial or Tahoma, these accents normally merge into the top margin of
the text box, thus reducing the readability of the accent. Is there any way
to force the text to move slightly downwards within the box to avoid this
problem?

I strongly suspect that there is no way to do this in Access and the only
solution will probably be to use a Unicode font, such as Arial Unicode MS,
which seems to allow more space than normal above the text. Can anyone
confirm this?
