How do I key in a Macron (Indesign)?

[katev27304258]

I have tried setting the keyboard to Extended ABC, Maori and Polish. The macrons work in Microsoft Word but not Indesign.

They even work here ... ā ,  Pakość  ,  ź

Can anyone help please?

You need to combine two glyphs : x and "Macron" (Unicode 0304).

Of course make sure your font has this "macron" glyph.

Many thanks Vinny38

I tried a different font and it worked!

This is a macron too!

Translation: Mac rond = rounded Mac.

What font did you end up using? The Macron is showing but I can't seem to get in on top of a letter, just replaces the letter with a Macron...

Did this work in Indesign, I have added the Maori keyboad but puts the macron next to the letter
