I too have problems typing pronunciation in gotoknow textbox.
I use the 'Size' (A with double headed arrow button] to change sizes but the B (for Bold) I give up too ;-)
Dear gotoknow support team, we need your help!
Don't if 'word processing apps' (Office, libreOffice/OpenOffice, Abiword,... would help). I have tried cut and paste from LibreOffice and there are too many issues.
Sigh! It's tough when we can't write what we want to readers to see.
