Cool, I got it to work with TIPA using the following code:
CharStyle ipa
LatexType Environment
LatexName textipa
Font
Family Sans
EndFont
LabelFont
Family Roman
Color red
EndFont
End
Neat. I just wish there were an easier way to mark text. I posted a
feature request on bugzilla that requested drop down menus for things
like colors, font sizes, and hopefully char styles. That would be
really cool.
Just one more question though - I put a true type font in using MTFI,
for which I have the following clunky ERT every time I want to use it:
\usefont{T1}{stacish}{m}{n} \selectfont hello \usefont{T1}{ae}{m}{n} \selectfont
How can I make this a simple charstyle-insert?
