I've had no trouble typing macrons directly into the richtext editors in Drupal. I hadn't checked for a TinyMCE specific module because it's easy to type mācrōns on the keyboard. In OSX, enabling the Maori keyboard in sys prefs => international will allow you to macronise vowels with the option key. I'm sure other OSes make it similarly easy to do - and this might make it easy for you and your staff to use correct vowels in more places than just your website.
Seems odd to me that the http://research.elabs.govt.nz/macrons-on-the-net/ page doesn't suggest using builtin OS methods for entering macrons. But that's not what you asked, so: TinyMCE (and the Wysiwyg module which has superceded it) offer a configuration screen where you can enable / disable the various buttons etc that each richtext editor provides. Have you checked here to see if the macron module is enabled there? In Drupal5 with TinyMCE, admin/settings/tinymce (maybe profile/edit/1 from here?) In Drupal5 with HTMLArea (aka FCKEditor), admin/settings/htmlarea/ toolbar In Drupal6 with Wysiwyg, admin/settings/wysiwyg/profile/edit/1 If TinyMCE is working for you on D6, then don't worry about upgrading just yet. Wysiwyg looks to be the supported approach going forward and works fine for us on a number of client sites.
