This sounds sensible to me. I don't know when tipa has been introduced, but I'm sure no one knew that LyX supports it until we detected it recently rather by chance. Now that we have a bit of information about it on the Wiki, I'm sure it will be used more frequently, so the earlier we fix loading of the tipa package, the better. For 1.5, I plan to enhance tipa support a bit. At least make it accessible via the menu (Insert->Special Character->Phonetic Symbols), but maybe even use the tipa fonts for display and add the symbols to the math panel. For that, however, I'll need assistance. > This is what we implicitly did for Jean-Marcs AMS changes yesterday.
