See the survey at 
http://www.smi.uib.no/ksv/diacs.html#ucf

All those listed, with links to where to get them, should work in Word 2007 / Windows XP or higher.

Salaam,
 
If your question is related to IPA fonts to transcribe the sounds of Arabic, here is a link where you can download IPA fonts for free:
http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?item_id=encore-ipa 
 
However, one issue with those fonts is that the dental diacritic is not placed correctly below the /t/ and /d/. The font that I use in my works and publications is e-PhonTranslit UNI. It correctly puts the diactritics in their places. [It is for free, but see the copyright note]. Here is the link:
http://www.uni-hamburg.de/Wiss/FB/10/IndienS/Kniprath/INDOLIPI/Indolipi.htm 
 
Once you save the font(s) in the "Fonts" folder, which is in the "Windows" folder, they will be part of the "system fonts" and should work in any word processing program, regardless of its version/edition. In MS Word, you can use the "insert symbol" button and navigate to the "e-PhonTranslit UNI" font. Make sure you embed the fonts (or save the Word file as PDF) to see the fonts in the file when it is opened on a computer that does not have the same fonts.
 
I hope this helps, and I am sorry for sending this long e-mail and repeating things that you might already be very familiar with.
 
Enjoy the weekend.

Try Gentium. It's free, it's unicode, it looks nice and it's very easy to use once you have installed your own keyuboard shortcuts. You can download it for instance on :
