I don't use Ubuntu and probably never use :),
but it seems that the font You are referring to is exactly the same
I mentioned before:

However this doesn't solve the problem how to use the ekphonetic sings
as _diacritic_signs_.

I'll probably do that "manualy" using the XeTeX (see here:
http://www.etf.cuni.cz/~tomasek/byz.pdf ), but that pretty
limits what I do with such a text (e.g. one cannot copy the
text out of the PDF into wordprocessor etc.)

P.T.
