SW> Does anyone use IPA fonts with XEmacs? If so, I have a few SW> questions: Linguists and missionaries, and pretty much nobody else. SW> * where is a good place to get an IPA font? Bitmap screen fonts are available in the GNU international fonts distribution. We have a mirror of that at ftp.xemacs.org in ./aux/fonts/ or ./mule/fonts/ or somewhere, but I don't know how up-to-date it is. Or the ./intlfonts/ directory at any GNU mirror. (I'm not sure which file it's in, offhand.) Metafont sources and a Type 1 font is available in the TIPA package for LaTeX. I don't know if XEmacs can use it conveniently, because the GNU package uses a private registry (== encoding), `muleipa'. Evidently the only standardized encoding for IPA is Unicode. TIPA is available from ftp://tooyoo.L.u-tokyo.ac.jp/pub/TeX/tipa. SW> * what do you use it for? LaTeX? some other word processor? I suppose a really good dictionary program might use it too. -- University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences Tel/fax: +81 (298) 53-5091 _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ What are those straight lines for?
