Nope.
Any number of Latin letters used in the IPA also have casing
partners, used in other languages. IPA enjoys normal Latin typeface
variety: there are serif, sans-serif, and typerwriter IPA fonts
available, and bold and italic are commonly met with.
None of that richness seems to apply to Fraser.
