Nothing wrong with that, as such, but I asked Sjoerd, the original poster, about his use patterns. He actually didn't use the tipa encoding shortcuts (the mapping of characters directly to glyphs in the fonts, '@'), but rather the named glyphs (\textschwa). So I focussed on that at first.

Em, I don't want to push this too hard, but I'd be interested in a Tipa work-alike (or something similar) for ConTeXt as well. I'd especially like the mapping part, rather than named glyphs, as it would make more sense in the "source" of the document, for me at least.

Well, the mapping with the tipa fonts is pretty easy: for the 64 or so most-used characters (alphanumeric++), Fukui-san put those characters where they're accessible with normal keyboarding. That is, get the font switch right, and you can type with the shorthand codes you know and like. (Ekspl@"neIS@n) No, the tricky bit is getting into the diacritics, modifiers, and all those things. (eh, not all that tricky) And then there's the tedious bit of handling all those characters in unicode, then, ideally, creating an input regime for IPA to map to those named glyphs. So it's a bunch of tedious work that's sometimes hard to get "just right" to do a proper job of it. But I'd say there's a 75%, workable solution in place. adam -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.
