A few have the ‘okina but not the vowel kahakō combinations, which makes choosing a non-standard font a bit of an adventure. I decided to spend some time working on this and found a couple of tools on the Mac and Windows that helped. I’m documenting it here since it may be of use to others:</span></font></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="4"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px;"><br></span></font></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;
