tipa doesn't make all tildes

Question

I am using the tipa package to write some phonetic things, and it doesn't work well with the tilde for some characters :

\~a or \~e do work well, but not \~\textscripta, \~\textopeno, \~\textepsilon, or \~\oe (or not so well for the last one)

I've also tried with $\tilde{\textscripta}$ , $\tilde{\textopeno}$ , {$\tilde{\textepsilon}$, $\tilde{\oe}$ , but the result is also bad.

What I want to show can be seen on the very bottom of this page : http://www.sfu.ca/fren270/Phonetique/trapeze.html

I will be able to show a MWE or some images if needed.

I am not using fontspec so the question is not the same as this one

Did I miss something ?

Can you make a small minimal (non) working example? – egreg Jul 12 '15 at 12:34 — egreg, Jul 12 '15 at 12:34

After having read further the manual, here's the answer : I have to put them in an \textipa environment :

\textipa{\~A}, \textipa{\~O}, \textipa{\~E}, \textipa{\~\oe}

do work well

What version are you using?

This is what I got with version 1.3 in the simple code:

\documentclass[margin=2mm]{standalone}
\usepackage{tipa}

\begin{document}
\~a, \~e, \~\textscripta, \~\textopeno, \~\textepsilon, or \~\oe
\end{document}

Thank you @sigur , I don't know why it wasn't working, because now your code also works. Maybe because I had created my own command : \newcommand{\phonet}[1]{\texttt{[#1]}}, and the code was inside. Now I have done \newcommand{\phonet}[1]{\textipa{\texttt{[#1]}}} and everything works fine. Anyway, I have discovered the \textipa envrionment, which I think is always better than the \text… commands (there are small visible differences, particularly for the tilde). – Malo Jul 12 '15 at 14:29
