This was done in a minute, and I realized there's something wrong. Oh,
it's French words (but that's not what's wrong!)
Here it is:
\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{osxfonts}
\renewcommand{\encodingdefault}{U}
\NewOSXFontFamily{arial-unicode}{Arial Unicode MS}
\renewcommand{\rmdefault}{arial-unicode}
\begin{document}
Some words:\\
fɛt fête\\
pəti petit\\
ɑ̃sɑ̃ːbl ensemble\\ % the nasals don't show up in Mail.app because
they're probably not in whatever Mail is using as a display font
\end{document}
I was planning on doing a little test with this week, so your mail
prompted it. I have a problem with the schwa and square brackets
though, the compilations stops with a:
! Missing number, treated as zero.
<to be read again>
p
l.8 [pəti]
petit\\
?
What it causing this error? The FAQs I've read on that are not very
helpful.
