With memoir class, the default headers height seems unsuitable for accented titles of chapter/section. The result doesn't look strange, but Warnings The material used in the headers is too large
(14.1595pt) for the given head height (13.6pt)
with additionnal Overfull \vbox (0.5595pt too high) has occurred while \output is active []"
are generated for every page concerned.
I've added
\setlength{\headheight}{14.2pt}
in my preambule, but I don't know if it could pose others problems of margin ?
MWE :
\documentclass[a4paper,11pt,twoside]{memoir}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\usepackage[french]{babel}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\begin{document}
\chapter{Titre accentué}
\lipsum
\end{document}
\nouppercaseheads
in your preamble and the warning will disappear. – Ignasi May 19 '16 at 17:22
