I still can't imagine why /z=:/ should be transcribed as
<i>. Wouldn't <Viby> normally be pronounced /"vi.by/?

If you mean the font, I haven't found these characters in
any other IPA font I have installed on my computer. If you
mean why I chose those letters/whatever, like Henrik, I
don't know what they are used for, so I asked. So I chose
this particular set of characters out of curiosity.
