[XeTeX] Newbie Qs: Font Types, Names, IPA

[Alexandre Enkerli]

Hello all,
Just found out about XeTeX recently, while upgrading to TeXShop 1.35 on 
my iBook 10.2.8.
It sounds like a wonderful project. And, BTW, SIL has several 
interesting things going on, especially for those interested in field 
linguistics (I'm a linguistic anthropologist, BTW).

My questions are hopelessly basic. I've been looking at some of the 
messages in the archives but it'd be more efficient to ask here.
With some files (including some of the samples) XeTeX will complain 
that:
"<font description> not loadable: ATSUI font not found."
even when the font name seems ok. For instance, it says that if I try 
to use Euler, which is a .dfont file. Does this have to do with the 
name or the type of font?
Would it be possible to generate a list of the names of fonts XeTeX has 
access to?

I see that other people are interested in IPA transcription but I'd 
like a bit more info. Are there other Unicode IPA fonts that we can use 
besides Doulos SIL? The main thing for me is that I would like to have 
my IPA transcriptions italicized.
BTW, not sure if this is useful to any of you but I've been using the 
IPAKeys keyboard.

Thanks for your help!
