Vowels with a macron accent are not part of the stock fonts in groff. Try using the URW fonts instead. E.g., .FAMILY U-P instead of .FAMILY P for Palatino. I had a similar problem some time back, trying to output Japanese Romaji. I wound up doing quite a bit of digging before I realized what was happening. I wound up adding some .char requests to my local .tmac file. E.g., .char \[-a] \[u0061_0304] .char \[-e] \[u0065_0304] and so on for both lower- and upper-case characters. So now, all I need to do is enter \[-o] in my running text to get an "ō" character. Anyway, I hope this helps. --Dale -- I don’t like when people talk to me. I can’t hear the voices.
