University. Despite the limitation that the first version of IKPA font was designed to be

and is still in use today.
2.2 IKPA Font Creation for Macintosh, An anonymous Korean Font specialist
volunteered to create a Macintosh version of IKPA font around 1991 after consulting
my book entitled “International Phonetic Alphabet and Korean Phonetic Alphabet” in
which theory and practice of IKPA symbols were described in detail. The shapes of
the IKPA fonts for Macintosh were esthetically superior compared to those of the HWP
version. Regrettably though, the Macintosh IKPA fonts were hardly used due to the
printing difficulty and scarcity of Macintosh computers in Korea at that time.
2.3 True Type IKPA Font – "ikpabatang.ttf" In April, 2008, Mr. Douglas Vautour,
another postgraduate student of mine in Linguistics Department, Seoul National
University voluntarily started to create IKPA fonts. Following several trial versions, he
finally came up with the best possible final version before the end of 2009. It is called
“IKPA Batang” and because it is designed to True Type specifications can be used on
most modern systems and word processors. A notable exception to this is the Hangul
series of word processors. (see footnote 1 above)
