typing special font characters

[Boris Glawe]

Hi,

I've installed the font Doulus SIL Unicode 
(http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&id=IPAhome). 
I'd like to use the phonetic IPA fonts.

In openoffice 2.0 the font is listed and I can work with it, but there 
are many characters missing, which are present in windows.

With fedora core 5 the IPA characters (which are used to write phonetic 
speech) do not appear in the special character menu. On the other hand 
with Windows XP, openoffice 2.0 shows theses characters as expected in 
the special character menu, after I've installed this font.

Documents, which I've created with openoffice 2.0 in windows, which 
contain some IPA characters of this Doulus SIL font, are perfectly 
displayed with openoffice 2.0 in Linux. The only problem is, that I 
cannot type or find any of these characters in any special character 
menus in Linux.

Do you have any idea, how I can use/type these characters in linux?

thanks in advance

Boris
