My current favorite SIL font is Doulos SIL, available for download from the SIL. This font roughly matches the Times New Roman font that many people use for their word processing.
Mac
Doulos SIL is a big font, so if you use the Insert, Symbol procedure in Word to insert your symbols, you'll want to scroll down through the various character sets until you get to IPA Extensions, which has what you want. Or look below at Inserting the Symbols with your Word Processor.
Doulos SIL has only one drawback, as far as I can see: it has no italics or boldface. Depending on your word processor and printer, it can fake them to some extent, but it's still not as good as having native italic and boldface characters.
Charis SIL
Available for free download from the SIL.
Like Doulos SIL, this a Unicode font. Unlike Doulos SIL, it has italic and boldface, but it's not a perfect match for Times New Roman.
CharisSIL is a big font, so if you use the Insert, Symbol procedure in Word to insert your symbols, you'll want to scroll down through the various character sets until you get to IPA Extensions, which has what you want. Or look below at Inserting the Symbols with your Word Processor.
Gentiumplus
Yet another Unicode font that you can download from SIL.
The appearance of the font is unusual. I find it very beautiful, but as a result it calls attention to itself (and thus, away from the author's writing). These are matters of personal choice.
To make sure that Gentium shows up clearly on your computer screen, be sure you monitor is set properly: in Windows, Control Panel, Display, Appearance, Effects, Clear Type.

An older font system: SIL IPA 93
SIL IPA93 is a collection of True Type phonetic fonts. These are the old-fashioned kind of font, where the symbols actually replace some of the 224 ASCII symbols that normally would depict other characters. Therefore, you have to change fonts when you're word processing. These fonts are basically obsolete; I mention them here because they are needed for FeaturePad and other teaching software I use.
If you're having trouble getting these fonts to work, go to the SILIPA93 Troubleshooting Page.
How to install a font in Windows

Windows Vista: A reader of this web page kindly sent me this information:

Installing your own keyboard shortcuts
This method requires you to develop a system bit by bit, but eventually you can get a system in which you can type phonetics pretty fast. Night owl hd download mac.
The first time you need a symbol, go to the menus at the top of the screen and find Insert, then Symbol, then find your phonetic font, then find your symbol. Click on the symbol to highlight it. Then click on the Shortcut Key button. Choose your shortcut key.
Asus lifeframe download windows 7. In choosing shortcut keys, I like to use a two-keystroke mnemonic system. Thus, for the IPA 'snake' symbol that represents the sound of the letter sequence 'sh', I use Ctr Alt Shift s, h. Similarly, the a-e digraph for the vowel of 'cat' is Ctr Alt Shift a, e. But you can also use simpler keystrokes for the most common symbols, so for instance I use Ctr e for schwa (note: this sacrifices whatever Ctr e does in Word, so make sure you aren't discarding something you really want).
Once you picked your shortcut key combination, click Close, twice. Now, when you type the shortcut sequence, the symbol will pop onto the screen. Gradually, you can develop a full set of shortcut keys in this way.
One more thing: when you set up shortcut keys, the next time you exit Word, you'll be asked if you want to save 'normal.dot'. The answer is 'yes'; normal.dot contains the information about your shortcut keys.
If you set up all your symbols this way, eventually, you'll remember all the codes and be able to word-process phonetic symbols fairly fluently.

Make sure you have Doulos SIL on your computer (see above).
Open this file: BHTemplateForPhoneticSymbolEntry.dot. Open it in Word, then edit your document and save it under another name (with the appropriate suffix, doc not dot). Then open this file: GuideToBHTemplateForSymbolEntry.doc, and print it out. The second file gives you keyboard strokes that will produce symbols in Doulos SIL in the first document.

'In Mac, within System Preferences, open International, go to Input Method, and select Character Palette and Keyboard Viewer.
Then in Mac Word, for example, at the top right of any given document, there will be an international symbol, possibly the American flag, and if you click on it, Character Palette opens, and in the left-hand pane, you can select 'phonetic symbols,' and voila! there they all are! highlight what you want and click Insert.
A nice feature to Character Palette is that, with regards to ligatures in diphthongs, you can select, for example, a 'schwa', insert it, and then the ligature, insert it, and then a 'horseshoe' and insert it, and the program automatically links them together. it's great.'

Applies to: Windows 10
When you upgrade from the Windows 7, Windows 8, or Windows 8.1 operating system to Windows 10, certain fonts are no longer available by default post-upgrade. To reduce the operating system footprint, improve performance, and optimize disk space usage, we moved many of the fonts that were previously shipped with prior versions of Windows to the optional features of Windows 10. If you install a fresh instance of Windows 10, or upgrade an older version of Windows to Windows 10, these optional features are not enabled by default. As a result, these fonts appear to be missing from the system.
If you have documents created using the missing fonts, these documents might display differently on Windows 10.
For example, if you have an English (or French, German, or Spanish) version of Windows 10 installed, you might notice that fonts such as the following are appear to be missing:
If you want to use these fonts, you can enable the optional feature to add these back to your system. Be aware that this is a permanent change in behavior for Windows 10, and it will remain this way in future releases.

Installing language-associated features via language settings:

If you want to use the fonts from the optional feature and you know that you will want to view Web pages, edit documents, or use apps in the language associated with that feature, add that language into your user profile. You do this the Settings app.
For example, here are the steps to install the fonts associated with the Hebrew language:
  1. Click Start > Settings.
  2. In Settings, click Time & language, and then click Region & language.
  3. If Hebrew is not included in the list of languages, click the plus sign (+) to add a language.
  4. Find Hebrew, and then click it to add it to your language list.
Once you have added Hebrew to your language list, then the optional Hebrew font feature and other optional features for Hebrew language support are installed. This should only take a few minutes.
