It looks fine in Mozilla. You might need to download a font that
includes the ʔ character, if you don't have one (Gentium is one that
goes well with Times New Roman). IE has some difficulty with IPA
characters (at least older versions had problems; I don't know if the
newer ones work any better.) I have my IE font set to Thryomanes, but I
only use it when a page won't work with Mozilla for one reason or another.

You shouldn't have to specify a font with modern browsers. But Gentium
(available for free from SIL) is a good choice.
