The one I am using is called techphonetic.  There are many copies of it
out on the net.  The copy at wuarchive.wustl.edu is located at
    /mirrors3/archive.umich.edu/mac/system.extensions/font/type1
and is called techphonetic.sit.hqx
When you get it, you will need to binHex it, and unstuff it (both these 
utilities are on the net also. archie is your friend.)

I don't know about this bit. . .

Techphonetic has the following characters wedged: s, z, c, j.  It also
has d{script z} and t{integral} as one character symbols.  There are
lots of other goodies with it, including tons o' diacritics.
 
The only thing I can't seem to be able to do with it is to get vowels
with tildas, and I really would rather not go to another font to put
them on.  If anyone knows how to do this, please let me know.
