I tried this thing a while ago. It worked only in WordPad :((

Hehe. I've been advertising free Unicode fonts here for a couple of months, and still no reaction. Gentium is indeed great (if you need only Latin and Greek)! Visit http://www.phon.ucl.ac.uk/home/wells/ipa-unicode.htm if you need fonts containing unicoded IPA. Another good resource on Unicode fonts is http://www.alanwood.net/unicode/fonts.html
