Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: In Writer, how can I type characters from the IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet)?

We had this type of thread before.

Make sure you have a font installed that has the IPA glyphs in it.

Then use Insert>Special Characters.  Choose the IPA font and then the 
IPA subset.  Click on the character[s] you need and click OK.  This will 
place the "special character[s]" in your text at the cursor.

I believe that Arial Unicode has IPA glyphs in it.  Though 
GentiumPlus-1.504, DoulosSIL, and CharisSIL, seems to be IPA fonts.  I 
have them if you do not have these fonts or other font with IPA glyphs.

I do not use many IPA characters, but I have had the need for Spanish 
and French characters such as ñ and ç, that are not on my English keyboard.
