The easiest solution is to use a modern TeX engine like XeTeX or LuaTeX along with a font with the required glyphs.  I personally use XeTeX with Linux libertine fonts.  You can find my setup here:

Hi Suvayu

I am interested in switching over to xetex. I find however that things dont work very easily and googleing around I find that some fixes are needed. eg http://ledgersmb.org/faq/xelatex 

Do you also need to do these? Or is there something more generic/uptodate?

Thanks
