I need to build GUIs and plots showing unicode characters and/or IPA fonts. How to do this? Please tell me step by step. Kind regards. Francesco

Unfortunately, unless you draw the characters individually (or bitmap them into place), then all that you can access are the characters up to 255, together with whatever is supported in latek (such as greek characters)

I have not managed to figure it out. I did download the fonts and installed them, and can see them in the font list, but I cannot figure out how to activate the alternative symbols. (Note: I was working on OS-X, not MS Windows)

Hello.
This may seem rather simple but it *works*, you can just copy-paste the symbols from a webpage, for instance
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Phonetic_Alphabet_chart
directly to the matlab editor and place each symbol inside a cell, i.e.
phoneticSymbols = {'I','ɮ','ɳ̊'};
And that works fine. HOWEVER, this does not work cross-platform, so if you work in windows, will not work in Mac and vice versa. I am not an expert in phonetics so not sure if the symbols are accurate, but to my untrained engineer eye, they look fine, see the example below.

This only works for r2014b or later and when Interpreter is tek or none. It does not work for interpreter latek.
