Below are some other links to useful information on using phonetic fonts:
Phonetic Keyboard for IPA - here is the link for a phonetic keyboard to type in the IPA.
Chart of Phonetic Keyboard - Here is a pdf file with a chart for the IPA keyboard above. Note that most of the special symbols have two parts: press the first one, release and then press the second one to make the symbol. The symbols will look best if you use the Phonetic fonts.
