AFAICT, there are: - 2 new font encodings needed (T3 and T3S), with associated named characters - a set of font definitions - unicode tables (for utf input) need extension - there are some macros in IPA for special input That's about it for the basic TIPA font support, I guess. For proper linguistic work, you need a large set of extra macros, but those are not in the LaTeX tipa.sty either. Greetings, Taco
