Revision as of 04:29, 3 August 2006
Since many pages on this wiki make use of more or less arcane Unicode characters I put together this list of freely available Unicode fonts. Some of it is still just links to links culled from Wikipedia; I'll fix that eventually. I will also update the style class used by Template:IPA accordingly. You should use the IPA template {{IPA|[laɪk ˈðɪz]}} to make at least your IPA visible to Internet Explorer users...
