Here is a PDF I created that shows the Phonetic symbols/glyphs in the Gentium font recommended by a UCLA site.

http://libreoffice-na.us/gentium.pdf

My question really is still, if you have a font that has all the phonetic symbols in it, why would you want to use some othere means to re-create them?


This was made by two screen clips of FontForge's view of the characters/glyphs in a Gentium font.

The original email stated that the person wanted to have the IPA symbols/glyphs in his LO document. He could do it in LaTeX, but he had trouble in LO without "TeX". He wanted to know how to do this.

My answer is to use a working IPA font and use Insert>Special Character.
It works for me, just fine, on LO 3.4.1 on Ubuntu 64-bit.

In order to get the tipatt8 font to work in LO (versions 3.3.4&  3.4.3)
I had to copy /both/ the tippa8.afm and tippa8.pfb to ~/.fonts. The font
now shows up when I scroll to select fonts starting with 'T'. Oddly
enough, rather than 'TeX tippa8' being displayed in the dropdown
selection, it is displayed as greek symbols'tippa8, so you need to look
closely after putting the .afm and .pfb in ~/.fonts

I can insert all of the characters in your example. Unfortunately the
character between 'e' and 'I' spaces (U+02D8) (˘) as a single character
so it is not shown as an accent to 'e' but as it's own character.
Perhaps someone more familiar with using dead/compose keys etc., (Johnny
Rosen?) can assist with that part.
Using 'Tex ttpa8':

U+0044
U+0115
U+026A

results in:

In LO 3.3.4 and LO 3.4.3 (linux) on my system.
