(1) --- Forwarded Message from Greg Kessler <[log in to unmask]> --- Try this link for IPA fonts on OSX <http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&item_id=ipa- sil_keyboard> Greg Greg Kessler, Ph.D. Director International Teaching Associates Program [log in to unmask] (2) -----from Derek Roff [log in to unmask] SIL International has a number of freely downloadable IPA fonts. I like the look of Gentium, although I haven't used it for IPA. It is a fairly broad Unicode font, supporting most Roman-based alphabets, several varieties of Greek, and soon, they say, Cyrillic. <http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&item_id=Gentium> Derek Derek Roff Language Learning Center Ortega Hall 129, MSC03-2100 University of New Mexico Albuquerque, NM 87131-0001 505/277-7368, fax 505/277-3885 Internet: [log in to unmask] (3) --- from Jim Duber [log in to unmask] Hi Barbara, OSX comes with IPA font extensions already installed (at least I believe so--it's been awhile and it's possible I installed them from the system disk, but can't recall now). Use the "Character Palette" for access--you'll find this listed as "Special Characters" under the "Edit" menu in most applications (or under its actual name if you're showing the input menu flag in the menu bar). Within the Character Palette, set the top "View" pulldown menu to "Unicode" and then select "Unicode Blocks" from the tabs at the top-center of the paletter and then "IPA Extensions" from the left-hand menu. Hope that helps, Jim _______________________________________________________ Jim Duber [log in to unmask] duber dot com http://duber.com Interactive Media Development, Training and Consulting See the LetsTalk Discussions: http://duber.com/LetsTalk/ _______________________________________________________ (4) --- from Eric [log in to unmask] OS9 IPA fonts still work for me in Font Book on OSX 10.4.x. I have embedded these in pdfs used in the past few years, and the fonts were readable on both OSX and Windows. Your mileage may vary. fwiw, the IPA fonts installed: SILDouIPAReg SILDoulosIPATM SILManIPAReg SILManuscriptIPATM SILSophiaIPATM SILSopIPAReg There are apparently two versions of each of the above: one PostScript, the other TrueType. There may be a problem with the bitmap versions, as I found them in the old OS9 Fonts directory with names that included forward slashes. Forward slash is a directory delimiter in POSIX paths and is therefore theoretically problematic. I have no idea if these were the names of the fonts, as originally installed, but here they are: SILDoulosIPA/bitmap SILManuscriptIPA/bitmap SILSophiaIPA/bitmap Manually replaced the forward slash with hyphen -- seems to work. (5) from --- Barbara Need [log in to unmask] The SIL IPA fonts are pretty good. Check out the following link: http://www.sil.org/computing/catalog/show_software_catalog.asp?by=cat&name=Font Barbara Need Manager (SS4), Computer Support, Archivist (6) from --- Francoise [log in to unmask] Dear Barbara and musicians, Nomore SIL fonts to download. We now use Unicode. No change in typing: same keys for symbols, e.g. 'E' (capital e) when in IPA-SIL will be the open e of the IPA. Go to URL http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&item_id=ipa-sil_keyboar d FYI, I used to have a Mac and a PC site for my Practical Phonetics and Listening Comprehension web assisted course. Much simpler now with Unicode.
