MS Office Forum / Word / General MS Word Questions / July 2005Accute accent over m
Hi How do I make an accute accent, ie accute accents (´), directly over the top of lower case m. I need this for Sanskrit spelling (romanized). Thanks Dharm > Hi > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Dharm There are some fonts available that include the romanized sanskrit character sets. I don't see any m's with acute accents, but with a dot and with a dot and inverted caret. One such font, SCATIMES, based on Times New Roman, is available at http://www.harekrishnagoteborg.com/interactive/downloads/nedladdningarskrivbords teman.html There are others, but I don't know where they can be found. I googled for this one. - Character There's a combining circumflex in the Combining Diacritical Marks character subset of Arial Unicode MS (glyph 0302), but you might do better to use an overstrike field to combine an m and a circumflex in your chosen font; the circumflex is 02C6. For instructions on the overstrike field, see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/Overbar.htm  SignatureSuzanne S.

But the placement of the combining diacritics often isn't terribly nice, especially in combinations that aren't commonly used such as above consonants. In Word2002/2003, you can type m302 and then use Alt+X to turn the code 302 into the accent.

I get m plus a little hollow rectangle that's slightly taller than it is wide. Something's not installed, perhaps. I'm using Word 2002. SignatureBob The hollow rectangle means that the font you're using doesn't have the character. If you're using the Unicode combining accents (0x02B0-0x0385), you should get Arial Unicode MS. I've used it to represent IAST (ISO646, the type of Sanskrit transliteration you see in books) and it looks very good. If you have Word 2002, you can install the font. It doesn't install with the standard installation of Office, you will need to select custom install and then search through the tree structure for an option that says something like "international font" or "universal font", or maybe "Unicode font" and then select that to be installed. > Hi > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Dharm You can also consider using Latex and its Sanskrit package for all the accents (and not just accute accents). Installing latex and beginning to use it is somewhat cumbersome but returns are very high after you do so. Best A |
