The fonts that come with XFree 4.1 are complete with IPA - and you
can always install the GNU Unifont by Roman Czyborra. As for editors,
I frankly don't know. I believe that you can teach Vim to use Unicode,
but nowaydays I use vi less and less - mainly because I've started to
use XEmacs and KMail. XEmacs, by the way, is still not able to read
and write Unicode :-(.
