Font Macrons

Hi There

We use font macrons in NZ,  e.g. my town name is Kaikōura, but they do not load on my site, I end up with a ? which is problematic when naming in the proof gallery.

I use Roboto and Montserrat which both support macrons.

Thanks

It is most likely not the fonts, but the collation of the database not accepting those characters. You probably installed a long while back before it set it to UTF-8.

I'll email a file that will change that and accept those characters. Won't fix any existing ones though.

Thanks Tim.

Fixed.

Hi Tim

Hi Tim,

I would also appreciate the file. Thank you.

Download this zip file. 

Unzip it and there is a collate.php file included. 

This will change the database tables to utf8_general_ci which is needed for the accented and special characters.  

Upload this file into the main folder Sytist is installed (where you see the sy- files and folders).

Then view that file in your browser like yourwebsite.com/collate.php or sub.yourwebsite.com/collate.php

After that, delete the file.
