I’ve recently upgraded to a new computer with Windows 11. (Was previously using Windows 10.) In the process, I’ve moved from Fieldworks 8 to Fieldworks 9. No problems with that. Then I needed to install Keyman ( I used IPA Unicode 5.1 (ver1.2) KMN). In Windows 10 I had it installed as the keyboard for my default input methodː English (New Zealand). In Windows 11, I’ve added it as an additional keyboard, alongside the NZ Aotearoa keyboard, inside English (New Zealand). These two keyboards both show up in my input methods, and I can get Fieldworks to talk to them. I also have a Chinese keyboard for inputting in Chinese, but this is separate from the two keyboards in English.
However, some of the input keys are not working according to the IPA Unicode 5.1 (ver1.2) document.
These ones are good:
ʈ ɖ ɭ ɳ ŋ ɲ tʰ kʰ ɑ ɕ ʑ ɯ ɤ ɪ æ
These ones are notː
a| gives ã instead of the expected open central unrounded vowel
z| gives z̃ instead of the expected unrounded alveolar apical
y| gives ỹ instead of the expected rounded alveolar apical
n| gives ñ instead of the expected front-palatal voiced nasal
R^ gives R^ instead of the expected upside down R “affricated” symbol
There are also multiple issues with diacritics and tone marks. Can anyone help, please?
