fonts for Indian language

[Guest guest]

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.

I do not quiet understand Ur question — please put it more clearly. I am on Mac

OSX so

may be of some help

If i understood correctly, U want to type long vowels from keyboard. Then,

combination

depends upon font used — there are many for Mac OSX. For any font U may get full

keyboard review with application Font Book by Lemke Software. Latest version is

4.4.0, see

for it on macupdate.com
