This IPA keyboard allows you to type pronunciations of English words as they appear in English dictionaries. After you copy text from the above box and paste it into your word processor or e-mail message, make sure you choose a Unicode font with IPA symbols in your word processor or e-mail application. Otherwise, phonetic symbols may not display correctly. See if this thread helps you: Typing IPA Symbols in Mac OS X 10.5. Left and select customize, and then check the box for Phonetic Alphabet.
To be used when translating English to from Italian Language. My first post here and I'm aware that this subject has already been discussed.
I desperately need an IPA font for my work as I used to have on my previous system (PC). I've tried all that you have suggested to other member's request, but to no avail, all fonts downloaded from IPA appear to be broken, specially the symbols. The need for a single font is tat I have to write many pages at times. Can you please help? Many thanks in advance. I have not yet found the IPA stuff within Mac0S X 10.6. Go to Character Viewer (Edit Special Characters), View=Code Tables, Tab=Unicode, 00000250 IPA Extensions.

In the Font Variation pane you should be able to see a good number of fonts that have these. On the PC I have been able to type IPA symbols directly from the keyboard by means of fonts downloaded from IPA International.
That sounds like the obsolete non-unicode system I mentioned, which ideally nobody should be using these days. I need to be able to add, word by word, the Italian phonetic symbols above the Italian text which I then translate into English. The documents can be very long, so perhaps the keyboard layout which you mention might be the best solution that I am going to find for my system? Yes, you should download and install that and see if it does what you need.
It is also pretty easy to make a custom keyboard layout if you want. The fonts that I have downloaded are the Charis Sil (can't see any phonetic characters in the 'Symbols') That is an excellent font. Here is a list of all the character ranges which you should be able to see using Character Viewer, either as described above or with View=Glyph, Tab=Glyph Catalog, Font=Charis SIL. Or using FontBook Preview Repertoire.
Many thanks for your answer. Following the link that you have suggested I have tried to install the 'Charis Sill first and Doulos Sill, as they seem to include the phonetic transcription, but neither of the two are satisfactory, can only be used for regular typing. I am familiar with the site as I've used their fonts in the past, don't seem to be lucky with the present system which is great in other aspects. Unfortunately I am not so experienced, coming from a pc. Is there something else that I could try to get these fonts, don't mind paying for them as they are so important for my work? (or, am I doing something wrong while installing the above mentioned?
I have found the font (s) that I need, the problem is that, once downloaded and added to the fonts in my system, they don't 'work' as they should. Any idea why this is happening? I think OS X 10.6 already has all the IPA stuff without the need to download additional fonts. Are you expecting to be able to type IPA symbols from the keyboard? In a Unicode system that is only possible by installing a new keyboard layout. What app are you using to write with? Perhaps this article will help.
If not, please try to explain again what it is you need to do. Thanks for your reply. To answer your questions: I have not yet found the IPA stuff within Mac0S X 10.6.

Thank you for the p.s - The fonts that I have downloaded are the Charis Sil (can't see any phonetic characters in the 'Symbols') just the very useful accented vowel often needed by Italian language, that is why I m saying that 'they don't work as they should' in my previous post.) Very grateful for your time. Ina55 wrote: I have not yet found the IPA stuff within Mac0S X 10.6. System Preferences Language & Text Input Sources and turn on 'Show input menu in menu bar'. On the new icon that just popped into your menu bar, select 'Show Character Viewer'.
In the search field at the bottom, enter 'IPA' and then double-click on 'IPA Extensions'. The app I use for writing is Microsoft Word 2008. Drag all of the IPA extensions into your word document where they will be easily accessible. If you want, you can setup Word to insert them with custom keystroke combinations or maybe autocorrect. That would be a better question for the.

The openoffice spreadsheets work and when I save them as.xls files and open them in NeoOffice they still work, but if I open them in Word v. X I get no symbols. However, if I open the NeoOffice created files in 2004 I have no problems whatsoever. So I think for my local stuff I'll use NeoOffice, but I'll have to get Word 2004 to interact with my co-workers. There is nothing you can do to make this work with WordX, which is not compatible with Unicode IPA.
Getting Word2004 will not help. If your co-workers only have WordX, then you have to also use WordX yourself and download the special non-Unicode fonts from SIL. WordX and Word2004 use two different standards for what codes generate what symbols. And the standard used by WordX is obsolete, or almost so.
