[Athen] Latin book

[Robert Spangler]

Are those symbols showing up correctly in print?  I wonder if it's using
the International Phonetic Alphabet.  If so, you'll need to download the
appropriate files to use with JAWS.  Full instructions are available at:
http://www.ruf.rice.edu/~reng/jaws-ipa.html

This will include downloading a font and the symbol definition files so
that JAWS knows how to read the characters.
