Hello!
Most IPA fonts include these lowercase right-tailed retroflex letters: t,
d, z, c, j, l, n, r; however, SIL's *Encore* Series Fonts (currently in
version 3.0) also has the highercase versions of those 8 + curly-tailed s,
esh, ezh in both higher- & lowercase. I'd use a curly-tailed <s> to pair up
with curly-tailed <z> for the retroflex sibilants—that'll save the
curly-tailed <c> to pair with curly-tailed <j> for your retroflex laminal
affricates—only if you don't want to use a diacritic accent (like an
underring) to represent retroflexion. Thank You!
