IPA symbols in Garamond

[Aidan Wilson]

I had a look at this, but it doesn't appear to have all of the IPA symbols. 
Using this font and SIL's mac keyboard to insert a unicode symbol, the font 
reverts to that microsoft sans or whatever that horrible looking thing is. 
Trying to change it back (by, say, selecting a whole chunk of text and changing 
the font) just skips the symbols.

I'm using symbols like ɣ, ə, ɳ, ŋ, ɲ, ɭ, ɹ, ʈ, n̪, (can you guess the language 
family?) and I also prefer using Garamond where possible, so this Gentium thing 
excited me a little. Unfortunately it won't work, and also, it doesn't look 
much like Garamond if you ask me.
