This file makes Kirshenbaum and X-SAMPA-compatible
IPA input methods available in your Emacs. It’s a development of the
original Mule IPA input
file. You’ll need a version of the editor than can handle and display
the IPA; I’m about to commit a patch to XEmacs that means it no longer
trashes Unicode code points it doesn’t know about, but for displaying the
actual characters as something other than squares or tilde on X11, you’ll
need to do something in your init.el file like I do in redisplay-fragment.el. Cursory testing
in GNU Emacs shows the Lisp code works, but the display of entered
characters doesn’t.
Emacs Lisp source code available here.
