ipa unicode fonts

[China683]

Hi,

I use the international phonetic alphabet font in my databases. In the past, I have used non-unicode fonts in both FM 6 and 7 with no inputting problem (could not search though). In the last year, I updated to the unicode fonts and keyboard layouts. In the storage option I have selected Unicode as the default language and in field language, I have selected the font.

The problem is that I cannot type any diacritics. That is, I can type all of the other symbols, but when I want to put a symbol over or under a particular letter, I cannot. In order to type diacritics, I type a letter (e.g., 'o') and then type a number (8) or shift+# (shift+0 makes a nasal diacritic over 'o').

My work-around is to type it into Word then cut and paste it into FM. This is a real hassle. Any ideas?
