I think classifying those phonetic characters in `phonetic'
script is wrong.  At least, Unicode says that most of them
are Latin script.   Jason, why did you install this change
for phonetic characters?  Was it to select a proper font for
those characters?

        * international/characters.el (script-list): Add phonetic script,
        covering IPA (previously Latin), Phonetic Extensions and
        Phonetic Extensions Supplement (both previously unassigned).

        * international/fontset.el (setup-default-fontset): Use unicode fonts
        that cover bopomofo script for bopomofo.
        Likewise for braille and mathematical.
        Use unicode scripts that cover the phonetic script for IPA.
