This type of thing is possible, but a bit of a pain.

It is discussed in the NCL FAQ at:

http://ncl.ucar.edu/FAQ/#vis_008

Below is an NCL script that will plot "Château" using Helvetica font (it assumes
that you have set your text function code to "~").

load "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/gsn_code.ncl"

begin
  wks = gsn_open_wks("x11","text")

  res = True
  res@txJust = 4
  res@txFontHeightF = .1
;
; Explanation of the text string function codes:
;
; ~F22~ - Select font 21 (Helvetica)
; ~H-12~ - Move 12 digitized font units left
; ~V+6~ - Move up 6 digitized font units
; ~I~ - Use indexical size since the normal size for the hat is too big
; ~P~ - return to principal size
; ~H+4~ - Move 4 digitized font units right
; ~V-6~ - Move back down 6 units
;
  str1 = "~F21~Cha~H-12~~V+6~~I~^~P~~H+4~~V-6~teau"

  gsn_text_ndc(wks,str1,0.5,0.7,res) ; Draw the text string
  frame(wks)
end
