I think the IPA for barred lambda would be tL (where L = barred ell),
and for plain lambda dL. IPA doesn't have separate symbols (I believe)
for affricates. Americanist c, for instance is represented as ts, and
c-wedge (or c-hacek) as tS (S = esh, or s-hacek).

IPA's font page is http://www2.arts.gla.ac.uk/IPA/ipafonts.html
where Linguist's Software is the only alternative to SIL.
