Is a micron the name of the straight line over the 'a' in Māori? A single pixel line over a bunch of a's is tremendously simple to do in pixel fonts, I could probably add that to all the fonts in a day... hmmmm
- travisjungroth 2y agoThe straight bars over vowels are called “macrons” in English. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macron_(diacritic) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macron_(diacritic) In Māori, there are ā, ē, ī, ō and ū.
- chevyray 2y agoAhh yes there it is, thanks for clarifying. These are quite simple and would be easy to support.
- bspammer 2y agoApologies if this nerd-snipes you, but supporting the caron might also be fairly simple given you could just vertically flip the circumflex https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caron https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caron Together with the macron, pinyin (the main romanization for Chinese) would be mostly supported. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinyin https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinyin
- chevyray 2y agoGreat suggestion, I would not have discovered this easily. thanks!
