Guest guest Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 My question is about transliteration: anyone know how to render macrons (long a, as in Maa, etc) using Mac OS X? Someone told me there is a keyboard character mix that will do it, back when i was on OS 9. If so, thanks in advance. Max Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
