Macrons
Thanks for sharing, Peter!
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!

Hi Hannah, many thanks for the tip - I followed everything as suggested but it still didn't work! I tried Lato as the font but encountered the same dramas as earlier - what font did you use (looks ace by the way) Cheers!

Hi Peter, this might be because macrons aren’t included in the extended Latin set for Lato. You can do a quick check for macron support in Google Fonts by picking Custom from the dropdown menu at the top and typing ‘Māori’ in the search box. You’ll be able to quickly see which fonts support macrons (see attached image). I used Open Sans for my course. Is this an option for you?
