Have you tried PalPhon? http://www.sil.org/computing/fonts/Lang/IPA.html or a Hawaiian font? http://www.oha.org/naoiwiolino/font.html http://www.uhh.hawaii.edu/~nhsi/kipuka/Hawaiianfonts.html http://www.olelo.hawaii.edu/eng/resources/fonts.html (server seems to be done at the moment) The mocron is a non-spacing character in both options.
