I am certainly pleased to hear that.  I cobbled up something like I
imagined the intent of the macros I found to be.  (Stick _that_ in
your parser. :-)  Eventually somebody told me about TeXt1, but I never
bothered to actually get TeXt1 working so that I could find out how
closely (or otherwise) my LaTeX version of the WSUIPA doc resembled
the original.

BTW, I have also managed to build a sans serif version of the fonts. 
The WSU people who made up the IPA font on ymir left the original CM
code intact when they could, so there is code for sans serif, but they
obviously never tested it.  There were several characters where the
sans serif code had to be modified.  It did things like refer to
points on the nonexistent serifs.  I can supply the mods to anyone
who is interested.  (Don?)
