If you use TeX or LaTeX, then you might be interested to know that the
Metafont files for IPA symbols can be obtained by anonymous ftp from

        ymir.claremont.edu

in the directory
        
        anonymous.tex.mf.ipa

(it's a VMS machine which is why the directory path has periods).  The
font files end in ".mf" and the manual ends in ".tex" or ".latex".
Ask your local Metafont guru to add them to your font collection.

I haven't used these fonts, I just know they exist.
