Comment(by jbhuw@…):

 I found a work-around that may help someone smarter than me figure out why
 this isn't working.  This involves two steps:  change the character
 encoding for the MacOS Terminal window to something nedit can handle and
 change the default text font in nedit to something compatible with the
 system.

 1) Bring up a Terminal window.  Then go to the Terminal Menu a the top of
 the screen and choose Preferences...  Click on the “Settings” tab and then
 pick “Western (ISO Latin 1)” from the Character encoding menu (this is the
 ISO8859-1 encoding).  Close the Preferences window.

 2) This step may not be necessary, I did this first and then did step #1.
 Edit the ~/.nedit/nedit.rc file using vi or something and change the
 nedit.textFont properties as follows:

 nedit.textFont: -adobe-courier-medium-r-normal--
 12-120-75-75-m-70-iso8859-1
 nedit.boldHighlightFont: -adobe-courier-bold-r-normal--
 12-120-75-75-m-70-iso8859-1
 nedit.italicHighlightFont: -adobe-courier-medium-o-normal--
 12-120-75-75-m-70-iso8859-1
 nedit.boldItalicHighlightFont: -adobe-courier-bold-o-normal--
 12-120-75-75-m-70-iso8859-1

 This seems to have solved this problem for me.
