For those purposes, use the Phonetic subset. We have not put anything in the other subsets for phonetic, transliteration, or transcription use. With the exception of the Phonetic font, the font subsets are intended for orthographic use only. We have provided subsets for Africa, Americas, Asia/Pacific, Europe/Eurasia, Vietnam, Phonetic, Cyrillic (Basic) and Cyrillic Extended. Now, in the age of mobile devices and web usage, there is a need for fonts that are small and compact. They are very large fonts that cover just about every need we know of in the Latin and Cyrillic world. SIL’s Non-Roman Script Initiative has created comprehensive fonts for Latin and Cyrillic character sets. If you have a particular need for any of these fonts to be updated to version 6 please contact us and describe your need. We do not currently plan to provide subsets based on version 6, as the need for subset fonts has been considerably reduced by current font and browser technology. The special font subsets described here are based on version 5 of the fonts, not the current version.
