Font-related problem for linguists

Dear all,
this is true if one mentions 'pure' phonetic data. A problem arises is 
the object languages uses the Latin alphabet and only one or two 
characters which are taken from IPA. When mentioning a word from such a 
language, italics have to be used. If such a word contains one or two 
IPA-inspired characters, those should be italicized as well. But if the 
fonts do not permit this, the result is not convincing visually.
