- Font Support for Unicode Blocks
(the pointer is to Arabic, but there is coverage for other blocks) Some drawbacks, e.g. it claims 250 code points in the Arabic block. There are 256 code points in all (0600 thorugh 06FF), but in Unicode 5.0, 21 of them are empty, meaning there are in fact only 235 code points that need coverage. Also, the "Unicode BMP Fallback Font" it lists as having 100% coverage is actually a debugging font that doesn't cover *any* characters in the sense of providing their normal glyphs.

- IPA and text fonts
Ideally, you want a font that you can use for both text and IPA. I only know of two fonts that do this well: Gentium and Charis SIL (both available from the SIL website). If I remember correctly, Gentium has Regular and Italic versions, and Charis SIL has Regular, Italic, Bold and Bold Italic. Eventually, Doulos SIL will be available with the same four possibilities, but at the moment only Regular is included.
