When will macrons be available for the Tenorite font?

Question

Marcon's don't seem to be available for the Tenorite font. When you try to put them in, they change the font to Cambria. Does anyone know when they will be available? We can't currently appropriately spell Māori words (New Zealand) without them.

Answer 1

I don't have Tenorite installed, but with other fonts you can use Character Map to choose a font then examine the available characters.

Choose the font you want first, make sure Advanced view has a check next to it, then type "macron" (w/o quotes) into the Search for: box to get a preview of all the available characters with a macron.

Hello Eva NZ

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

Based on your current description, it appears that the macro code written in Tenorite font needs to be placed in PowerPoint, but Visual Basic Editor automatically converts it to Cambria font. Generally Speaking, code placed in the Visual Basic Editor will be converted to the edit box font by default, and I have checked to see if it carries the Tenorite font （Microsoft 365） by using the following method.

1. Open the Visual Basic Editor by pressing Alt + F11
2. Click on the "Tools" menu at the top of the screen.
3. Select "Options" from the drop-down menu.
4. In the "Options" dialog box, click on the "Editor Format" tab.
5. Under "Font", I haven't found the Tenorite font available in the current version yet.

Based on my testing and enquiries, the Tenorite font is one of the new cloud fonts offered by Microsoft 365, but this does not apply to the Visual Basic Editor which has its own font settings. This specific font library is also set to take into account the compatibility of the code to render correctly. For more information on cloud fonts, you can see the following support article.

• Cloud fonts in Office - Microsoft Support

Meanwhile, the following Microsoft 365 blog shows that the Tenorite font was created and designed by Erin McLaughlin and Wei Huang. You can try contacting them via the contact channel at the bottom of the blog post to try and enquire if there are plans to add this font to the Visual Basic Editor in the future.

In my opinion, Māori is a beautiful language that deserves to be spelled correctly, you will need to make sure that the font you are using supports the necessary Māori characters.

Here are some fonts that have good compatibility with the Māori language:

• Arial Unicode MS
• Segoe UI
• Cambria Math
• Times New Roman
• Calibri
• Palatino Linotype
• Georgia

When using an editor, you can change the font to one of these options and make sure that you have the appropriate language and keyboard settings selected on your computer. As shown below:
