Re: OT: Typesetting self-pronouncing words

[Lee Richardson <lhr@xxxxxxxxx>]

The CD-ROM American Heritage dictionary includes its own TrueType fonts for the special pronunciation characters.

Somewhat off-topic, I always thought a great use of rubi in English text would be to provide pronunciations over the base word. Don't think anyone has ever done it, for whatever reason (one likely being that you'd need to run FrameMaker on a Japanese OS to get the J feature set to show up).
