We got the same sort of problem here in Germany with our Umlauts ("a,"o,"u).
As a workaround I initialize a commmon block at the beginning of each
session that contains strings with base-character, the two dots and some
character-positioning-commands. It is not really perfect in the looks, but
PVI didn't offer anything better. For using these special characters I
concatenate them with the other parts of the string to print,

e.g.: title=aeg+'rger'
common umlaut ,ae,aeg,oe,oeg,ue,ueg
ae='!sa!r!u!e!9 . . !n!3' & aeg='!sA!r!u!e!9 . . !n!3'
oe='!so!r!u!e!9 . . !n!3' & oeg='!sO!r!u!e!9 . . !n!3'
ue='!su!r!u!e!9 . . !n!3' & ueg='!sU!r!u!e!9 . . !n!3'

I suppose you could create the Angstrom in a similar way.
