It depends on your operating system. You need an ISO 10646 font that contains the IPA repertoire. On GNU/Linux I use misc-fixed and I can see the IPA characters. On X11 you can check the available fonts with the “xfontsel” program. You can check whether a font contains a specific repertoire by displaying it with “xfd -fn ” and then searching for the requested code pages. For MS Windows there's an extension available from Microsoft that gives a more usable “properties” dialog, when you right-click on a font in the “fonts” folder. When you have your font, you can use font-sets to use it only for a specific charset. Oliver -- 7 Floréal an 211 de la Révolution Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité!
