Doulos SIL Regular is not really up-to-date: the db and qp digraphs are located at U+F240 and U+F241 respectively (in the private use area), while Unicode placed them at U+0238 and U+0239. The Unicode standard also adds "used in Africanist linguistics." But I don't know in which languages they are used, and if they are used in languages out of Africa. They're not IPA characters, are they? How would you write a labiodental stop in IPA? JF
