First problem: I'm not even sure of the name of the alphabet for which I
need a font.  I *think* it's "Unifon".  It's a phonetic alphabet that
has 40-some-odd characters, the point being that you can spell English words
phonetically.

Second problem: I need a font for this vaguely remembered alphabet.
I'd prefer a PostScript font, but I'll live with a metafont or TeX .tfm
description.

Third problem: Is there any sort of ISO standard alphabet for dealing
with pronouncing words?  I'm trying to deal with the fact that certain
words and names are spelled or pronounced incorrectly (depending on your
point of view) and need some way to specify the "right" pronounciation.

Email, and I'l summarize for the net.

Thanks for any help,
