This file is in fact a zip file containing 3 truetype fonts.
I've stored these fonts in the
~/.fonts and /user/share/fonts/truetype directories
of my Ubuntu 9.10 workstation

When I point the Konqueror browser to
http://www.jyskordbog.dk/ordbog/
I do see the referenced phonetic characters;
but the display of these fonts fails with SM and firefox.

I've done some Google searches
on how to manage fonts for SM under Ubuntu
but didn't find any useful clues.

Did you use a phrase search with wildcards?
http://google.com/search?q=cache:mCZlDhUSjAIJ:cai.au.edu/Training/Content/Google/Google.pdf+synonyms+*-*-space+*-*.*-*.*-sign-in-front-of-it+are.similar+Stemming+minus.sign+*-*-*-*-is-essential+*-meaning-*-*-*-avoid+Numrange+uppercase.or+tilde+*-specific-website+Cached+variants

I got it as my #1 hit
(string slightly refined from my initial try):
http://google.com/search?q=%22+Mozilla-*-use-TrueType-fonts

Clicking the *Cached* link (and tweaking that a bit):
http://google.com/search?q=cache:8fLqmbx04jsJ:billposer.org/Linguistics/Computation/XFonts.html+mozilla-*-use-TrueType-fonts&strip=1

Thanks for the tips.

Unfortunately neither works for me.

Ubuntu 9.10 has no X11 configuration file, /etc/X11/XF86Config. There is a similar file, /etc/X11/xorg.conf to which I added a "Files" section pointing to /usr/share/fonts/truetype. I also installed and launched ttmkfdir and mkfontdir which are not default installed with Ubuntu 9.10. I rebooted and pointed MS to http://www.jyskordbog.dk/ordbog/ - and still didn't see the phonetic characters.

It didn't help either to add a directive

font.directory.truetype.1;/usr/share/fonts/truetype/

to prefs.js using about:prefs.
