In fact the situation I find myself in is a bit more complicated than the question might suggest. I need to typeset a document with various accented characters and would like some hyphenation support for that. I know I need T1
font encoding for that. Unfortunately, then I have to use a bitmap font by default, which is quite ugly… Can I force Computer Modern with T1
or is there no way around? In the latter case, which vector fonts would you suggest? I am only marginally interested in XeTeX
or LuaTeX
solutions.

I strongly suggest Latin Modern fonts instead of CM. See the post: Latin Modern vs cm-super?
If you also want to have UTF8 encoding mapping in the pdf file (for copy-pasting and accessibility) you can add some line to your preamble assuming you are using pdfTeX (pdfLaTeX).
The minimal code below I have prepared for another post show you how to do this:
