I want Apple to restore IPA fonts natively to OSx-10.7 and 7

As I work in multiple languages as a professional singer, I would like to see Apple to restore and include natively IPA fonts as they did in an earlier OS.

I've tried to jerry-rig getting them on to my cpu but the experience altogether very windows-like. Furthermore, I couldn't find a keyboard layout that was complete. How can I put pressure or beg Apple to PLEASE.....DO IT?

OS X 10.6+-OTHER, iOS 6.1.4, Include the IPA Font as a standard

PS Perhaps you could also use the camera icon here to post a screenshot of an example of text which has the IPA things you think you can no longer type.

Thank you, I went to the gear icon on the left side of the character window and chose "Custom". Only then, making an illogical guess, did I see the other choices such as pronounciation. I do thank you for your patience and support. I was clear to me that I would have eventually been lead by the community to eventually find a solution.

I'm glad you got what you needed. Don't hesitate to ask if there is something else you can't find in the new system. Some features of the old Character Viewer are no longer available in the new one, but there are sometimes ways around that.
