    Subject: IPA fonts for Windows NT


    We would like to make an IPA font available on our server, which runs Windows NT. Our techies have been unable to get the SIL IPA fonts to work in this environment.. Does anyone know of a solution or another IPA font that might work for us?

    Thank you,

    Has anyone used the Linguistics Abstracts Online database operated by Blackwells? IF so, (a) does it provide full-text access to a significant number of journals? (b) does it have advantages over LLBA on-line or other on-line databases for linguists?

    Thanks,

    Dear Linguist Listers,

    Might anyone have experience with a Mac Font in MS Word 6 for the ROMANIAN language?

    I'm putting together a Proceedings and need especially 3 characters which MS Word 6 doesn't generate in TIMES ROMAN:

    namely a "t" and an "s" with a hook like a cedilla underneath,

    and an "a" with a half circle above like a saucer.

    Might you be able to recommend a font or supplier or free share ware?

    Thanks.
