Salutations

None of the fonts that I tried seem to give satisfactory results in typing Latin using the macron. However, it appears that I can type text using unicode to produce the desired result, but it's tedious to do. Here's an example of the lower-case characters: ā, ē, ī, ō, ū, and ȳ

In March, 1998, I accompanied a group of Latin students from Douglas MacArthur High School (San Antonio, TX) on a trip to Italy over Spring Break. It was a whirlwind trip. In ten days, we visited Rome, Pompeii, Sorrento, Capri, Assisi, Florence, and Venice before flying home from Milan. It was a great trip; I'm going again next year! Here are some scenes from along the way, primarily in Pompeii.

After retiring from the classroom, I took up learning Latin using the Cambridge Latin Course series of textbooks. I am about the level of senex canem videt, but I'll get there eventually.
