Macrons
Hi again, I've found success in uploading the Vreyma font (https://www.fontzillion.com/fonts/casady-greene/vremya) to Rise - it's a pretty good match (see attached pic).
It seems a little buggy - as you type the letter 'K' appears when you press the space-bar, but that disappears as you type. But, cos I'm doing a whole course in te reo Māori, I'll take it as a fix for now!
Cheers

All good, though further fixes by Articulate would still be welcome - the 'K' bug is a pain

A friend has helped me find a very satisfactory solution to this. Follow the steps Allison links to above, except that when you get to the part of converting from .ttf to .woff in Font Squirrel, instead of leaving the conversion type at Optimal, tick Expert instead. When you do this, more options will appear. Scroll down to the Subsetting section and select Custom Subsetting, where more options will appear. Under Unicode tables, you will be able to select a whole range of Latin scripts. I basically selected them all except for the Currency symbols. Once you’ve done this, go ahead and download the converted font from Font Squirrel, upload them into Rise as a custom font as per Allison’s instructions. This has worked beautifully for me (see attached image) and I’d love to know if it works out for you too!

Kia ora, Peter - many thanks for this! The Vremya font, though a bit default-font looking, is as close as I've gotten to anything that matches the macrons, so that's great. The K bug remains a problem, as you've mentioned, but this is a satisfactory workaround for me for now. More advances on this from Articulate would definitely be welcome though!
