"M+ FONTS" (http://mplus-fonts.sourceforge.jp/) have partial Japanese
and full IPA glyphs. pre-build TESTFLIGHT fonts are TTF, but you can
easily convert to OpenType font using fontforge.

Their website says:
"All fonts were completed with Basic Latin, Latin-1 Supplement, and
Latin Extended-A. And most of extended glyphs and symbols were prepared
too. So the fonts are in conformity with ISO-8859-1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 9, 10,
13, 14, 15, 16, windows-1252, and T1 encoding.
In addition, proportional M+ P Type-1 and M+ P Type-2 fonts were
completed with Latin Extended-B, Latin Extended Additional, and
ISO-8859-5. And many Greek, Cyrillic, IPA Extensions glyphs, and symbols
were expanded. Those additional glyphs are included in M+ C provisionality."

This font is completely Open Source (No restriction for modifying,
distributing, etc.).

Or, "Free UCS Outline Fonts"
(http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/freefont/) can be your option. I
personally think that the quality of this font varies very much from
glyph to glyph, but this font covers wide range in UCS.
