[Lingtyp] Entering IPA etc. characters/diacritics on new Apple Macs

[Larry M Hyman]

Thanks for letting us know, Bill. I have been using IPA Palette on
Monterey, where there already are some quirks: Sometimes it doesn't insert
the symbol when you click on it, sometimes it does; it does always work
when you drag the symbol into your document or email. Does dragging not
work in Ventura? I have been hesitant to upgrade to Ventura, and now will
put it off even longer if I can get away with it!  θæŋks so mʌtʃ !!!  Best,
Larry
