Eric, it looks like the characters you need are a part of the extended ASCII set which is the same problem for Asian languages. Basically, what that means is that it takes the space of two characters to make up a single letter.
Legacy doesn't seem to support double-byte characters. My wife's computer is in Korean, and while all the normal English and diacritical characters work in Legacy, Korean characters won't. If you're technically inclined, or know anything about HTML, there is a chart on the WIKI site (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macron) towards the bottom of the page. It shows that all of your macrons are above 255 which is the highest number that is used for normal ASCII characters. I would suggest contacting Legacy Support to see if there is a version for the language you are trying to use. There is an international page on their website, (http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/InternationalLegacyVersions.asp).
