Can we just get back to the font issue? I need a font with IPA characters that is (preferably) free, that is properly coded, and that I can recommend to beginning students. These students are going to use it with Word on Windows or a Mac to do their homework. The DTP/TeX/Scribus issue is irrelevant to them.
Tobias mentioned some Type 1 fonts (TIPA) by Rei Fukui that I had not heard of. I'd like to check them out, but I can't figure out how to get them. I googled on Rei Fukui and it gave me a lot of links, including CTAN which listed a lot of fonts. But CTAN seems to require an account or password or something. Also, when viewing the list on CTAN it showed tipa10, tipa12, tipa17, and so on for a long list. Are these point sizes? If so, why? TIA
