<DIV><FONT face="Arial Unicode MS">Does anyone have a recommended font
for metrical sorts to indicate vowel quantities, such as on the attached
page? (I would need the full range, including 'double short over long'
etc., and most of them also have to be available as 'accents' above letters
as well as free-standing characters, sometimes in combination with ordinary
accents such as acute, though I can fiddle if necessary to achieve that
sort of complication.)</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Have you looked at the character set supported by Charis SIL?</DIV>

<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>These fonts include a wide range
of symbols, including combining diacritics and separate marks, particularly
those that are used in linguistic transcription and similar contexts. Pretty
much the complete "extended Latin" set in Unicode, along with a rich
collection of technical symbols and marks. I don't know whether this would
meet your needs, but it might be worth checking.<BR>
