Subject: IPA fonts for WordPerfect 5.1 DOS



For those of you interested in the question of an IPA font set for non-

Windows applications, the Lines, boxes etc + Phonetic Edition (IPA font

set configured for 9-pin, 24-pin and laser printers) is available for

LINCOM EUROPA.



You need MS-DOS or PC-DOS versions 2.1 or above, an EGA or VGA monitor

, Wordperfect 5.1, and a compatible printer (H-P Laserjet or DeskJet, a

24-pin printer or an Epson or IBM 9-pin printer). Laser printers running

with PostScript are not compatible.



Lines, Boxes, etc (LBE) does not interfere with other font management

procedures. Access characters directly using WP 5.1.



LBE is a memory-resident program that installs automatically at printer

port LPT1. when the user requires a special character/symbol from WP

5.1 character sets, the charcter number is translated into specific

graphic data which are sent to the printer. LBE characters can be mixed

in lines with standard printer characters.



LBE was developed specifically for WP 5.0 and 5.1 with a specialized

phetic character set that follows the IPA phonetic alphabet, diacritic,

and symbol set.





You can contact LINCOM EUROPA for more information. I also have the

full brochure including printouts of the characters in dot matrix and

laser printer sets.

You will need to look up the country code for Germany as I do not have

it here. It might be possible that you need to drop off the initial 0

when calling from outside of Germany. I am not sure of this as I have

never needed to call this number.



I hope this information can be useful for non-Windows users.
