If you are looking for a transliteration system to use in journals,
which do not use the IPA but have a specific set, then you might wish to
get a font design package.  What you could do with that is to make a
copy of a font, such as Times New Roman, and call it something else,
such as My Times New Roman.  In that font, with minimal work, you could
then add the dots and dashes over the required characters.  Finally, you
would install that font.  In this manner, the font will be accessible to
all your Windows applications - selectable from the font drop-down
dialogue box.
If you need the IPA font, you can download that at www.sil.org

If you have a Unicode savvy application like AbiWord or MS Word, you'd
better use Unicode fonts containing glyphs used in Arabic
transliteration such as Tyromanes, Arial Unicode MS -- or TITUS Cyberbit
Basic which has a large number of uncommon characters in Private Use
area.

As for Unicode support of your system, see
	<http://titus.uni-frankfurt.de/unicode/unitest2.htm>

As for the fonts, you'll find download links at
	<http://www.alanwood.net/unicode/fonts.html>

Maybe you will find useful some of the utilities described in
	<http://www.alanwood.net/unicode/utilities_fonts.html>

Alternatively you can use Symbol fonts like those included in
Encyclopaedia Islam CD. But, with these fonts, it will be difficult to
keep the compatibility of your documents.
