Does anyone here know if there exists a font that combines the letters that make phonemes, be they digraphs, dipthongs, or just multiple letters (oo, ee, ea)?

For example, the word "cough" would have three phonemic chunks: c - ou - gh.

But the phonetic representations of the short o phoneme (ou) and the /f/ (gh) would be squished up against each other so they would be recognized as a chunk, not as separate letters? Does this make sense?



I suggest you post your question at
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
XeTeX is a typesetting system based on TeX, with a emphasis on the use of "exotic" writing systems. You question is not a TeX question, but you might find in this mailing list somebody who knows of an OpenType font with phonetic glyphs.
If you are interested, an introduction on XeTeX can be found at
http://cern.ch/XML/lgc2/xetexmain.pdf
do not feel obliged to read all of it, this is just to give you some perspective on what XeTeX is about and why grouping characters into glyphs (in arabic languages, for instance) is part of the preoccupations of the people behind XeTeX.

Best regards,
        François
