Font with many Unicode glyphs to display code -- IPA?

Hannes Hirzel
Hello

I work on an app which has some strings in the code with a
considerable number of non ISO8859 symbols (e.g. IPA
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPA)

How do I get / use a font which does this? The fonts provided in the
settings panel did not do the job.

Thank you in advance

P.S. Screen shot attached.
A source code font.
Or put the question differently how do I add a font as a source code font?

Click the font name next to the Code entry to change it, press "Update" in the selection window, and then select a system font (after installing if it's not included in the OS) that has IPA coverage.
Searching for "ipa font <my platform>" should give pointers to which you can use.

Cheers,
Herny

Hi,

alternatively, you can distribute yours programs with your own fonts.
you can keep them outside the image and load them on demand… take a look at LucidaGrandeRegular class to see how to do it.
