LyX ⇒ tipa | Fonts for phonetic Symbols

[Kotoschow]

That's the error I get when typing your example. When I remove the \documentclass{article}, it works, but still with the tipa default font, which is exactly what I don't need.

[cgnieder]

That's quite impossible! The error reads

Code: Select all

! LaTeX Error: Two \documentclass or \documentstyle commands.

See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.
Type  H <return>  for immediate help.
 ...                                              
                                                  
l.15 \documentclass{
                    article}
The document may only declare one class.

My example has only one \documentclass and consists of only 8 lines. This error refers to line 15.

Code: Select all

LaTeX Warning: Unused global option(s):
    [english].

I haven't used english as global option (or at all) in my example.

Code: Select all

Package geometry Warning: The marginal notes overrun the paper.
     Add 19.0945pt and more to the right margin.

I haven't loaded geometry in my example.

This log file is from another file you compiled but not from my example code. For reference: it looked like this (8 lines, no english, no geometry):

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{tipa}
\begin{document}

\textipa{f@"nEtIks}

\end{document}

Please try this exact code and/or post a minimal working example of what you're actually trying to compile.

I copy-pasted your code into the preamble, and I definitely didn't call the geometry package. This is the file I compiled, and its errorlog.
I think the \documentclass[english]{article} is sort of default in my LyX, and for some reason declaring \documentclass doesn't override it.

[cgnieder]

Ah, you didn't mention you were using LyX! In this case only add

Code: Select all

\usepackage{tipa}

to the preamble and insert

Code: Select all

\textipa{f@"nEtIks}

as ERT. Then the result should be the same as in the picture I posted earlier.

OK. It works excellent now. Thanks soooo much!
And say I want to change font? Should I simply insert

Code: Select all

\usepackage[<some font>]{fontenc}

to the preamble? And where do I find a list of all font?

[cgnieder]

No, fontenc is for font encoding and not for font selection. I believe LyX already includes that package so you don't need to worry about that.

You can choose fonts via

Code: Select all

Document > Settings > Fonts

.

[Kotoschow]

No, I know how to choose fonts. What I don't know is how to change the output font of tipa. Do you really do it through

Code: Select all

Document > Settings > Fonts

?

[cgnieder]

It's not clear to me what you want to achieve. \textipa will choose characters matching to the surrounding font. Do you want to display the IPA text in a different font than the rest of the document?

[Kotoschow]

Well, it doesn't for me. I use the

Code: Select all

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[scaled]{berasans}

options and my tipa output is in some other font.

[cgnieder]

You're right... that's probably because the Bera Sans font doesn't have the glyphs. You should choose a font that has them. Are you bound to Bera Sans as document font?
