If what you *really* want to achieve under Linux is to edit plaintext files that contain IPA characters, then you should use a locale with UTF-8 encoding, and editor such as vim 6.0 or yudit, and the already available -misc-fixed-*-iso10646-1 fonts under X11. Details on http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/unicode.html Quick demonstration guide on http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs/quick-intro.txt Printing support for UTF-8 and IPA under Linux is unfortunately still in its infancy, txtbdf2ps being one of the ugly hacks available for the time being.
