Nice to know that submitting LaTeX files will *not* keep the Journal of Phonetics typesetters from absolutely massacring phonetic transcriptions. What a beautiful mix of random spaces, random font shifts, misplaced diacritics, and a bit of added italics, just for kicks

Yes, this happened to me the last time I submitted there. Luckily the language I was discussing wasn't nearly as complex to transcribe. It happens with many publishers in my experience. I think that it would just be easier if journals told us exactly what format will not involve an IPA massacre.

171 errors introduced to the text by the professional typesetter, what a perfectly reasonably number!

how it started <-> how it's going so glad we have professional typesetters to do this, totally worth the reasonable APC
