A phonetic font uses an augmented alphabet so the abc organizatioin doesnt seem to quite work. The letter A has at least 5 values in the traditional orthography:
eI, a, ô, ø, ä
as in ape, at, all, ago, spa
How would I access these phonograms in your phonotypy font?

The extended characters are in the Latin-1 range (0x80-0xff).

The problem with the font, of course, is the presence of upper-case letters and the author's perceived need to write words in traditional orthography. I'm in the process of revising the font's mapping to get it closer to the pitmanita font; the only difference is that I plan to map SAMPA "Z" to z-caron as there is no parallel to ITA "zess".
