Greek accents (long marks)
Hello all,
I'm studying Ancient Greek and find it useful to type up my vocabulary to study from the sheets and to use as reference. It's working as expected, except for the long marks (macrons) over vowels that need to be long. For instance, the Greek word for "trial, attempt; experience" is "peira," but when I try to write it in Greek, with its accent and macron, it comes out as "πείρ¨α". Notice how the macron is between the rho and the alpha, when it's supposed to be over the alpha.
Has anyone else experienced this? Am I missing something? Is there a possible work around for this? Thanks in advance!
