Have you tried PalPhon?

        http://www.sil.org/computing/fonts/Lang/IPA.html

or a Hawaiian font?

        (server seems to be done at the moment)

The mocron is a non-spacing character in both options.  For PalPhon,
type <u> then all at once <Shift> <Option> 2.  There should be instructio=
ns
for the Hawaiian font that come with it.

Besides the general meaning of liveliness and connotations of much ado
expressed by much asaid, various syllabic types have somewhat varied
implications.  The type XX(-l)de usually has a favorable connotation, as
