- IPA Fonts for your computer : SIL
IPA Fonts
There are two versions available: SIL 93 Fonts and SIL Fonts. SIL 93 seems a better choice.
- Users of Windows 2000 or XP can only use IPA93 version.
- SIL IPA93 Fonts has TrueType fonts, while SIL IPA Fonts has both TrueType and PostScript Type 1 fonts. Converting fonts from PS to TrueType could cause more errors than going from TrueType to PS Type. - IPA (International Phonetic Association)
