Firstly, Debian has most of the fonts you need,
apt-cache search font will show you.
Secondly, how you input characters depends on your
keyboard layout. For example AltGr+ : or ' or # might
give acute, cicumflex or grave accents respectively,
like éêè - this works on my gb keyboard layout.
For other combinations you need different deadkeys or
a different keyboard layout.
The easiest is to use setxkbmap. For example, doing:
setxkbmap gb
setxkbmap cz
setxkbmap fr
will give british, czech and french keyboards
respectively.
This works very well in all appls that understand
unicode including oo.org, emacs and uxterm.
