Hi folks

Can anyone suggest a fix for this weird bug? My thesis (in phonology - how
the sound systems of languages are organised) contains perhaps 5000 single
words shown in phonetics � conventionally in either slashes or square
brackets, according to the usage, in Mac the Linguist, a font I have had
since 1989 I think.

The bug is that when the text is printed, Mac the Linguist compresses itself
by about 15 percent, leading to a gap on the right between the rightmost
character in phonetics and whatever is used to close the entry, either a
square bracket or a slash.

Mac the Linguist has its own set of conventions of combination key strokes
for diacritics and characters with no alaphabetic equivalent. Other fonts
probably adopt a different set of conventions. To match my standard 12 point
Palatino the Mac the Linguist entries have to be set to 10 point and bold.

Mac the Linguist seems to have disappeared. It doesn't seem to System X
compliant.

Does anyone know of a way of programming a replacement by another phonetics
font throughout the whole document?

Aubrey
