- The student paper I'm DTPing for has a Latvian feature scheduled for the
- next issue. The guy who's writing it would absolutely want to use all
- the funny accents of the language (I think the feature includes a
- linguistical sidebar or something) and I'd like to know if anybody knows
- of any painless means to produce letters with macrons, funny tails
- beneath the letters, and what else they have, in Microsoft Word and/or
- PageMaker on a Mac?
-
- I have my Red Book at home, but as I recall, these combined letters
- should be easy enough to produce in raw PostScript. But that's way too
- tricky for us amateurs. Maybe we should just put in the accents by
- themselves and kern the glyphs so tightly that they overlap?
-
- Any ideas would be most welcome. Please respond by private mail; I'll
- summarize if there's any interest.
-
- We're trying to accomplish this on a Mac IIci running Sys7 with ATM 3.0,
- with proofing on an LWIINTX and final output done on a Hyphen Pelbox.
