Dear McComas,

on Mac systems one can use so-called flying (or, in Mac speech, combining) accents, but the quality of the output depends on the font used. Gentium Plus and Brill are quite good, but I seem to remember that there are problems with some more outlandish combinations. At least, e.g., r + combining ring below + combining macron + combining acute accent works well with both fonts, and even with Times, though less perfectly.

Best wishes,
Sven

Dear Colleeagues

What is the easiest way to type Vedic accents in transcriptions using Windows and Mac systems?

Thanks in advance
