Dear Rolf, I've started trying to understand your issue but it may take me some time as I'm rather busy within the next few days. However, if you can put the screen capture on an external web site, that would be great as it would help decipher what kind of system the student used for representing IPA characters as my first investigations on your data lead me to assume he/she (or you when reading the data) may not use an adequate unicode encoding... But depending on what the data actually look like, it would help locating the issue...
Anyway, that is something "standard" in R. I use these fonts regularly within R so I'll help you as much as I can and obviously you do not need to upgrade your distrib.
