I can't type accented vowels in words (e.g. á é í) quickly on Habbo chat for some reason, but I can on Microsoft Edge.

I consider myself a fast typist, and whenever I try to type accented vowels quickly (e.g. á é í ó ú) within words it almost always fails; the accent doesn't merge with the vowel and instead it gets placed on the right of it or it just doesn't show up at all. Why is this so inconsistent? It doesn't happen outside Habbo as far as I know and it works perfectly on Microsoft Edge.

How do I check the font Edge is using and change the font in Firefox? Sorry, I'm not too well-versed in this.

I just checked and when I go to habbo both browsers use the fonts from Habbo (Ubuntu and variations). The thing is it works fine on Edge but not on Firefox.

What method do you use to get these accents?

Do you have a keyboard that has these character or are you using a layout with dead keys or are you using Alt key combinations?

I have a Spanish keyboard; the key is placed to the right of the Ñ key. The way I get these accents to merge with vowels is by first pressing the accent key, and then pressing whichever vowel.
