Hi to all,<div>What I need to obtain is a certain character with the macro sign above it (namely, a schwa with a macron, that serves to the transliteration needs for Ancient Indonesian). However, the Unicode standard lacks a precomposed entry for that character. Still, with the package <b>Xunicode</b> I can use the command <b>\=</b> to add a combining unicode compliant macron sign to any character (can't I?). The problem is that the font I use (Minion Pro) does not have a good combining macron glyph. Therefore, when I write<b> \={<something_strange>}</b> I obtain only this <b><something_strange></b> followed by a null character instead of being "covered" with a macron. </div>
<div>So, my question is: is there some way to substitute the glyph used by Xunicode as the macron sign? something similar to the command <b>\textsuperscript*</b> or <b>\fakesuperscript</b> provided by the package <b>xltxtra</b>.</div>
<div>Any idea?</div><div>Thank all the people in advance.</div><div>Artemij Keidan</div>
