Macronised fonts for Mandrake Linux?

Are there any Linux users here who have macronised fonts available for
Te Reo? I found a page outlining instructions for displaying macrons
in Debian - http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~trmusson/maori.html - but I'm
not sure if they will work in Mandrake. Any help will be greatly
appreciated.

Mandrake 9.2 had a Maori language option during the install routine. Can't
say whether it works or not...

Neither can I. I don't want my settins to be transferred to Maaori, I
just want to be able write the word properly, without having to type
Maaori all the time. <g>

If it's fonts you're missing, try
ClearlyU BDF, at http://crl.nmsu.edu/~mleisher/cu.html
Caslon, at http://pfaedit.sourceforge.net/sfds/
http://www.google.com/search?q=unico...-Extended+A%22

I'm not a Linux user but I have been told truetype fonts work with
XFree86 version 4 and later, also with some applications such as
OpenOffice. Any font with the Latin-Extended A character set (0100 to
017F) is what you need. Here's a ttf font that I like:

I suspect what you really need is a means of *typing* macrons, though.
To do that I guess you'd need to alter the mapping of your keyboard.
