The probability is that e-acute is not found in the first-choice font
that is found in your I-pad, so it falls back to a later (or generic)
font in which it can be found but which is not matched for weight.
As soon as you specify more than one font, and the fonts are not
matched for content and/or weight, such an event is likely to occur.
Incidentally, as you can type e-acute ("é") in your e-mail, why
not enter them the same way in your web page ? I assume you
are working in UTF-8 and not ASCII/ISO-8859-1.
