It depends on your operating system. You need an ISO 10646 font that
contains the IPA repertoire. On GNU/Linux I use misc-fixed and I can
see the IPA characters.
On X11 you can check the available fonts with the “xfontsel”
program. You can check whether a font contains a specific repertoire
by displaying it with “xfd -fn <font-specifier>” and then searching
for the requested code pages. For MS Windows there's an extension
available from Microsoft that gives a more usable “properties” dialog,
when you right-click on a font in the “fonts” folder.
When you have your font, you can use font-sets to use it only for a
specific charset.
