Thanks,  that works inside an ipa environment, but

$\mbox{\textipa{RPAQIOE2}}$

still doesn't.  (And since I'm trying to reuse legacy code, I'd like  
not to have to hand modify all my source.) Because generally the math  
code will not be inside an ipa environment but will be within a  
regular text environment, but will include embedded ipa characters.
