Well, in latex, you can use packages 'ae' and 'aecompl', and tell dvips to 
include postscript fonts. The resulting postscript can be converted to pdf 
(ps2pdf) and looks nice. If you don't include the type 1 fonts and convert 
to pdf, the document looks rather ugly.

The TIPA package is a system for processing the International Phonetic 
Alphabet. It includes metafont sources and latex macros for accesing the 
fonts.


By the way, how do I know if a given package is already supported by 
TeXmacs?
