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.)

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.
