Windows core fonts cover some of the common Latin characters used in transcribing or transliterating Hebrew characters.
Among fonts that cover all the characters of all the Unicode Latin ranges are Arial Unicode MS (sans-serif; bundled in Office 2000 or higher), Lucida Sans Unicode (sans-serif; preinstalled in Windows), Doulos SIL (serif; free), LaserIPA in Unicode (commercial) and Semitic Transliterator in Unicode (commercial) among others.
It is strongly recommended to avoid using Unicode-noncompliant fonts such as SIL IPA, LaserIPA and Semitic Transliterator for the sake of crossplatform and future compatiblity.
Charts of Unicode Latin Ranges
The following charts illustate non-ASCII letters (with or without diacritics) from the Unicode Latin ranges (Latin-1 Supplement, Latin Extended-A, Latin Extended-B, IPA Extensions and Latin Extended Additional) that are used in transcribing and transliterating Jewish languages. They also indicate which character is supported in which font. If certain characters are not displayed, it means that you do not have any font that include them.
