Note on Encoding and Fonts

If these sites are not displaying correctly, see the Browser Setup page for set up information.

It’s important that your browser encoding be set to display Unicode (UTF-8). In some cases, you may need to set the default font to one that includes phonetic characters.

Input Palettes For Phonetics

These programs provide a pop-up window which allows you to insert different phonetic characters. See pages for installation and usage instructions.

Online
Macintosh –IPA Palette (Mac) – freeware from Brian Hall, Pitt Windows – IPA Character Map (Windows) – freeware from David Montero
Note: Requires .NET and may not work on new Windows systems

Web Development

This section presents information specific to Spanish. For general information about developing non-English Web sites, see the Encoding Tutorial or the Web Layout sections.

Declare Unicode

No matter which method you use to create the document, the HTML page must be declared as a Unicode page with the following meta-tag.

Unicode Numeric Entity Codes

If you cannot use a Unicode phonetics input utilitiy or keyboard, then you can substitute numeric
entity codes instead. For example:

upside down R – ɹ(ɹ)
upside down capital R – ʁ(ʁ)
retroflex t (t-dot) – ṭ(ṭ)

See the Main Numeric Entity Code Chart and the Diacritic
Chart for details.

Specifying Phonetic Font Styles

Although it is generally not recommended to specify fonts for a language,
it may a good option to make display consistent across browsers.

Below are the CSS style classes listing some suggested
font specifications.

.serifipa {font-family: 'Doulos SIL', 'Gentium', 'Junicode', 'Cardo', 'Aborigonal Serif','Arial Unicode MS'}

.ipa {font-family: 'Lucida Grande','Arial Unicode MS'}

Introduction

This page explains how to set up International Phonetic Alphabet IPA fonts and keyboard layouts on your computer.

Keyboard layouts allow you to enter IPA fonts directly by hitting key combinations, as explained below. I work with the IPA a lot, so I find keyboard entry indispensable.

Which font to get?

Most modern computers should already have some fonts that can display IPA characters. But what you sometimes see is some characters appearing in a different font than the rest of the text, like this:

This is because many fonts only have a partial Unicode character set, which covers the standard (Latin alphabet) ASCII set but not much more. Your computer will substitute a more comprehensive font if its default font lacks the IPA characters. On Mac OS, this is Lucida Grande, for example.
I like Linux Libertine and Linux Biolinum. The fonts are freely distributed under a GNU Public License, and they work on any OS.

Another popular font is Doulos SIL. See the SIL webpage for details. I think it’s kind of ugly.

How to use the fonts: Web interface

This is the slow but universal way. It even works on iOS and Android.
Go to ipa.typeit.org. You can point and click on any IPA symbol with your mouse or finger, and the character will appear in the text box.
From there, you can copy and paste the transcriptions into your document writing program, then change the font of the doc to Linux Libertine if you like, and you’re done.

Another nice interface is http://westonruter.github.io/ipa-chart/keyboard/. That one lays out the IPA symbols in a clickable IPA chart.

OS-specific Methods

These are much faster and more efficient. Invest some time into learning them and you will save yourself time in the long run.

Windows

Check out this page, ipa4linguists. It explains how to use the Character Map, and also covers the various quirks of Windows.
I found one IPA keyboard layout for Windows. I cannot vouch for this thing, but if it works, that is by far the most efficient way of working with IPA fonts (see the next section on Macs).
