> Why is it a pain? Becase if the characters are spread out in the font it takes forever to write a "word" using Insert->Glyph (clicking and clicking), or you have to remember the hex unicode chars. Of course you can create keyboard shortcuts (at least in MS Word), but then you get a non-standard way of inserting them. For single special characters it's not as much pain, but for IPA I think you usually want to write longer words with the special characters. /Peter
