Macrons in Rise

We are trying to create a course that has A LOT of words with macrons. Using the default fonts in Rise, the letters with macrons appear much smaller, and look quite messy.  Does anybody have a fix...

This looks great that there is a solution but I can't find the macrons we use for Māori language in NZ.  See attached image for what we are trying to do.  We would like at some stage to do courses fully in Māori is there any chance we could get this added?

    Hi Cheryl,

    I’m sorry you’re having some trouble here.

    Have you already tried downloading non-Latin characters using these steps?

    Let me know and we’ll go from there.

      I love that these are non-Latin characters when Latin literally has macrons on some vowels.

    +1 for this, is a hassle uploading 'custom' font set when default sets already include macronised versions.

      Thanks for sharing that context, Karaitiana. We're tracking the impact, and I'll let you know if we make any updates to our built-in font sets.

    Hi, am not sure if this is still a common problem for many people - I have found that if you clear the formatting on any macrons in body text this makes the formatting look okay. For headings, I have only come up with a work around which is to make the first like of the paragraph bold and enlarge the font size to look roughly the same as a heading or subheading.
