Displaying IPA

Though IPA fonts will work fine, you can also use the IPA characters
included in Unicode, the universal character set on the brink of widespread
acceptance in most all software major software.  If you have Office 2000 or
2002, most all the IPA symbols you should need are included in the Arial
Unicode MS font.  You can get to them through the "insert special
characters" option on the menu.  Note that diacritical marks are usually
separate characters that should be inserted directly following the character
to which they are "attached".

You can find out about downloading Unicode fonts for Windows at
http://www.hclrss.demon.co.uk/unicode/fonts.html ( for other operating
systems, see http://www.hclrss.demon.co.uk/unicode/index.html ). From there
you can download Arial Unicode MS and many others.
