Hi, a while ago, Ulrike posted an nice way to allow legacy tipa

this? Thanks

\documentclass{article}

\newfontfamily{\ipafont}{Doulos SIL}

RPAQIOE

$\text{\textipa{RPAQIOE2}}$ % unfortunately this doesn't
This works fine for me.
Thanks. Installing the version of xunicode.sty that you attached
solves the problem.
$\textipa{RPAQIOE2}$ % and neither does this
This does not, since it is logically wrong.
The text characters have no meaning in math mode;
i.e., they do not exist in the font for the
usual math-italics of variable names.
Yes, and I knew that. I think I just included it out of frustration :-)
Changing this, so that these and other TIPA characters
are recognised in math-mode, would require a fair bit
of work to get right and be safe.
Absolutely. That's what the amsmath \text command is for anyway.
Thanks again.
