Re: Finding fonts with IPA characters

Thanks. I'm getting closer!

First, I want to use the Junicode font, so I changed your DejaVu Serif to Junicode. And it worked, sort of.

Second, I am using LyX, which has a GUI for document class and I can't figure out how not to have a document class in the GUI. So if I put it again in the ...

Re: Finding fonts with IPA characters

Thanks. That's some help - at least I can see what the font looks like. But I still can't tell whether it contains the glyphs for IPA. Installing fonts is a pain.

Can I use Junicode with LaTeX?

OK, I've spent only a day trying to figure out LaTeX (actually mostly using Lyx), so consider me a total n00b. I am using it on Ubuntu Intrepid.

I need to use Junicode for a project. Junicode is a free OSS truetype font (Sourceforge), and the source code is available as well. But I have no idea how ...
