Is there anyone doing phonetics on OpenBSD?
I suppose the first thing to figure out is transcription.
I mostly use macOS for that now, having installed an IPA keyboard
and the Charis and Doulos fonts (as recommended on the Praat page).
Now I'm looking to do that on OpenBSD.
As far as I understand, I need a XKB keymap that describes a layout
of the IPA symbols, and a font that has the glyphs for those symbols.
Please bare with my ignorance of XKB internals.
As a first step, I did
xmodmap -e 'keycode 30 = u U00028a'
and now I can write `put' as /pʊt/.
(U00028a is the unicode of ʊ)
Assigning the keysymbols for IPA symbols to the keycodes
(in some way I choose, preferably compatible to the existing
IPA keyboards out there) would amount to writing a layout
such as those in /usr/X11R6/share/X11/xkb/symbols/, right?
A quick search for 'xkb layout ipa' shows that a few of those exist.
Is any of them prevalent, or at least used by phoneticians?
Are any such layouts in the Xorg distribution already?
As for the font, the reason I can see the ʊ above
(as do you, right?) is that the font I use in this here xterm
-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--15-140-75-75-c-90-iso10646-1
covers the glyphs for Unicode, or at least parts of it,
in particular the IPA range of 0250-02af (see below).
So do some other fonts, including some in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/,
so I can type ʊ in a libreoffice document too using those fonts.
Please note that I use the words keycode and keysym and glyph
and layout without any actual knowledge of XKB or fonts.
I guess I am asking:
How do I install a XKB layout that covers the IPA symbols?
How do I install a font that has glyphs for those symbols?
Is there anything for that in ports?
If there are actualy phoneticians running on OpenBSD,
how do you do it?
Thank you
Jan
