i sent the font file to a friend and he had the same issue..

I assume the problem is not one of spelling: you tried typing some accented character and it just does not show up? (In French, chateau has a circumflex on the first a, but has no diacritic mark on the e.)

Would I be right to think that you are not eager to share the font file with people here?

If you do not want to share the font here, I suggest you file a support request with FontLab, and attach both the FontLab VFC file and the generated font.

When you open the font in an adobe application, can you find the diacritical marks in the glyph panel?
I second @Thomas Phinney's suggestion to start a FontLab support ticket, they're awesome. Or try the FontLab forums.

I was looking at this again and realized I missed something.

That red line under the names of the precomposed glyphs suggests a mismatch between the glyph names (which are OK) and the encoding. So the glyphs are probably mis-encoded.

To fix that, try going to the Font menu and select Generate Unicodes. I suspect that will resolve the problem.
