Given the styles given above, the é renders much bolder (and smaller) then the 
rest on all browsers on OS X Mountain Lion.

And that is not a surprise. The 'Apple Gothic' font does not contain glyphs for 
those characters. Browsers then look up further down the chain, find Futura and 
use that for rendering the character. All perfectly normal.

Why did you choose 'Apple Gothic' in the first place? That is an (old) font for 
Chinese characters that only has a subset of 'Western' glyphs. (and it doesn't 
have a 'bold' weight, fwiw, thus bold is rendered synthetically if at all.)

I suggest your drop that completely and use a real western font. 'Helvetica 
Neue' would do fine. Or maybe use @font-face for more consistency across all 
platforms.
