How to use macrons ( ā ē ī ō ū) in Rise courses?

May 23, 2022

Hi,

I am designing courses for an institute in New Zealand.  Often, I need to include words rooted in the Māori language which should have macrons ( ā ē ī ō ū). I tried to copy some text with macrons to my course using Merriweather font, but macrons were not copied.

Can someone advise how to solve this issue?

Many thanks.

Hi from NZ also ;-)

See...

Oh I should add....it's not a perfect display of the macrons but it is better than the default....and different browsers display the macrons slightly better than others.

Hi Karl,

Thanks for your reply. I copy content from the web and Word/Pdf documents. In my last course, I copied a piece of text to Rise and could not copy macrons. I cannot recall whether that particular text was copied from a Word or Pdf.

I will try again in the new course and see if it works.

Thanks
