Deck

I'm putting together a Glossotechnia deck suitable for printing out on make-your-own business cards.  Due to the limitations of MS Word's character set, I'm having a hard time finding some of the symbols, and am having to make do, so there are a few alterations that need to be made.

I'm delighted to provide the file to anyone who wants to print it out; if so, you should make the following alterations to put the cards better in line with the actual IPA:

• Draw in a slash on the bar of the close central unrounded vowel.
  
• Contrariwise, erase the slash on the open-mid back unrounded vowel, to get something that looks like an O with a gap in its left side or a mirror-reversed C.
• Put a descending, left-pointing tail on the left leg of the palatal nasal (and curve the bottom of the tail on the velar nasal a little to the left, if you like).
• Draw a short horizontal bar at the bottom of the glottal stop and attach the stem to it.
• Add a slight descender to the stem of the voiced bilabial fricative.
• Erase the bar on the voiceless postalveolar fricative
  
• Erase the bit that looks like a d on the voiced postalveolar fricative, leving only the bit that looks sort of like a 3.
• Put a loop on the bottom of the descender of the voiced palatal fricative
• Erase bits of the alveolar approximant so it looks like an upside-down r.
