 WordPerfect 6.0 for DOS has a phonetic font (among the WP Characters

options). It works very well, despite some minor problems with digraphic

representations. The overstrike option allows you to place diacritics even

on these phonetic symbols. I haven't tried to draw diagrams yet with the

processor, although it comes with a Graphics component. You need a mouse to

operate some of the functions in this version of WP.

Best wishes, George.
