[Samba] Mac clients trouble with NFD accented characters on Samba share

File names on a Samba share with accented characters using the NFD form
of UTF8 cannot be seen or used by Mac clients.
While tying to find a solution, I came across this old thread :
https://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2014-December/187545.html
("[Samba] Mount unix samba 4 share to osx client without mangled file
names")
A reply in that thread suggested:

So I enabled vfs_fruit, but it doesn't seem to help for accented
characters. Maybe it only solves a problem with illegal characters?
This is what I tried, but which didn't help:
Create the folders/files on the Samba server (Debian 9, smbd version
4.5.16) :
mkdir vélos_1 # normal NFC dir
mkdir "ve$(printf '\u301')los_2" # NFD dir
cd v*_1
echo "NFC" >> vélo.txt
cd ../v*_2
echo "NFD" >> "ve$(printf '\u301')lo.txt"
This is my samba config:
# testparm -s
Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf
rlimit_max: increasing rlimit_max (1024) to minimum Windows limit
(16384)

I could set up a cron job to rename all the problem files and folders
every night using convmv.
But before doing that, I would like to make sure I'm not overlooking a
simpler solution through the Samba configuration.
Thanks for any help,
MI
