I have installed several Unicode-fonts, but I still get square boxes where I
should get IPA extension characters. I do not have Lucida Sans Unicode, but
I do have other unicode fonts.And that's exactly the problem with normal
HTML -> the page layout depends on the font, which depends on whatever is
installed on your viewer's computer.

Maybe Dynamic fonts could solve this problem. I have seen very nice
examples, butI have not yet had time to figure out how to compose these.
Personally, I still go for PDF.
