Does anyone know whether the I.P.A. (International Phonetic Alphabet) font
is available for the Macintosh? If so, I would appreciate a copy (if PD)
or directions to its source.
Sticking with fonts, does the Mac Font Manager support arbitrary 'accents'
an any character? A true IPA character set would need one unless a special
Word-Processing/Type-Setting program is used. By 'accents' I mean a set of
super/sub marks that can be applied to any of the characters in the
font. The normal (English) Font Manager allows a very restricted set, namely
grave, acute, etc and then only to a specific set of characters. If the new
Font Manager (or Script Manager) supports exotic scripts like Kanji, etc, then
does this mean that a font like IPA would need to be a script by itself? I
would appreciate any clarification.
Thankyou.
Paul Menon.
