At one time or another I have needed just about every character in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), including all the diacriticals: http://www.omniglot.com/writing/ipa.htm Unless TeX can enter all the combining diacriticals on the above link it will not do for me. In Scribus or LO Writer on Linux I can enter any of them easily just by using the Unicode value for the combining diacritical. Of course, I use the Junicode font for everything, since it was created by Prof. Peter Baker for use in classics and linguistics and has just about every character I might need, including ordinary typesetting niceties like true small caps, old style numerals, swashes, and lots more. But even if I convince TeX to use Junicode it still has no way to enter all the diacriticals that I need.
