See for yourself. I don't know which of the following links you already have,
but they are at least worth a try:

IPA (with sound): http://www.ling.hf.ntnu.no/ipa/full/
IPA/SAMPA: http://www.cs.brown.edu/~dpb/ascii-ipa.html
IPA Homepage: http://www2.arts.gla.ac.uk/IPA/ipa.html
X-SAMPA: http://www.phon.ucl.ac.uk/home/sampa/x-sampa.htm

     http://www.i-foo.com/~kturtle/misc/xsamchart.gif

Okay, let's see what we have:

Unicode:
     http://www.unipad.org/
     http://www.unicode.org/charts/
Several fontmaking programs:
     http://www.fontlab.com/html/fontlab.html.
     http://users.iclway.co.uk/l.emmett/
     http://alphabet.tmema.org/
     http://dmoz.org/Computers/Software/Fonts/Management_and_Tools/.

Some others:

Archives of the Conlang Mailing List, 1991-1994:
     http://www.ri.xu.org/conlang/index.html

Okay, here are a few groups. I saw a few on your page already, but that was
after I compiled this list:

General:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/artificiallanguages2
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/langmaker2
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/langmakercafe
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Conlangs_in_use
http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&group=alt.language.artificial
(I omit AUXLANG and our own beloved CONLANG here, as well as the numerous lists
related to specific languages, like NGL, Folkspraak, Slovio, etc.). OTOH, there
are a few that are interesting...)

Regional:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Celticonlang
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/germaniconlang
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/romanceconlang
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Slaviconlang
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/westasianconlangs
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/eastasianconlangs

Non-English:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ideolengua (in Spanish)
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ideolenguas_en_uso
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ouglopo (in French)
(there must be one in Italian, too, but I don't know where; the Russian group
seems to be dead).

Relay lists:
http://www.valdyas.org/mailman/listinfo/relay
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/conlangrelay
(I might be worth to include links to the past conlang relays?)

Conculture:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/conculture
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/geofiction
http://www.geocities.com/elemtilas/ill_bethisad
(the latter is not a mailing list, of course, but interesting anyway)

Other:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Arda-Lang
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fantasyconlangguild
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mothertongue

Cousin language of John Cowan's Piat?
