No predesigned boldboldbold,bold but Word can generate imitations. It’s a bit too pretty for me to concentrate on the text, though. ˈwaj ˈʃʊdṇt ə kʰw̥ɪkˈsɑːɾɪk̚ kʰəˈzɑːk ˈvæ̃m pajɹ ̩ ˈʤɑːɡ̚ ˈbeɹˌfʊt̚ why shouldn’t a quixotic Kazakh vampire jog barefoot ‘Why shouldn’t a quixotic Kazakh vampire jog barefoot?’ falʃəs yːbṇ fɔn ksylofoːnmuziːk kvɛlt je ːdṇ ɡrøːsərṇ ʦvɛrk Falsches Üben von Xylophonmusik quält jeden größeren Zwerg wrong practising of xylophonemusic bothers every larger dwarf ‘Wrong practising of xylophone music bothers every larger dwarf.’ 2 Linux Libertine is a very large font that tries to cover all the Unicode ranges. This can be extremely useful but it may slow down some computers. Their primary focus was not IPA, so for instance you can see that the “no audible release” mark is not spaced quite right. ˈwaj ˈʃʊdṇt ə kw̥ɪkˈsɑːɾɪk̚ kəˈzɑːk ˈvæ̃mpajɹ ̩ ˈʤɑːɡ̚ ˈbeɹˌfʊt̚ why shouldn’t a quixotic Kazakh vampire jog barefoot ‘Why shouldn’t a quixotic Kazakh vampire jog barefoot?’ falʃəs yːbṇ fɔn ksylofoːnmuziːk kvɛlt jeːdṇ ɡrøːsərṇ ʦvɛrk Falsches Üben von Xylophonmusik quält jeden größeren Zwerg wrong practising of xylophonemusic bothers every larger dwarf ‘Wrong practising of xylophone music bothers every larger dwarf.’ Sans serif fonts (12 point) DejaVu comes in Serif , Sans and Sans Monospaced (my favorite for program- ming) Covers much more than the IPA so it might slow down some computers. ˈwaj ˈʃʊdṇt ə kʰw̥ɪkˈsɑːɾɪk̚ kʰəˈzɑːk ˈvæ̃m pajɹ ̩ ˈʤɑːɡ̚ ˈbeɹˌfʊt̚ why shouldn’t a quixotic Kazakh vampire jog barefoot ‘Why shouldn’t a quixotic Kazakh vampire jog barefoot?’ falʃəs yːbṇ fɔn ksylofoːnmuziːk kvɛlt jeːdṇ ɡrøːsərṇ ʦvɛrk Falsches Üben von Xylophonmusik quält jeden größeren Zwerg wrong practising of xylophonemusic bothers every larger dwarf ‘Wrong practising of xylophone music bothers every larger dwarf.’ Lucida Sans Unicode (not free) comes with Windows 98 and later; Lucida Grande comes with Mac.
