Not quite true that "they're not in any font," as I have them in AHD Symbol
and AHD Symbol Sans, which came with the American Heritage Dictionary add-in
I had eons ago. They're not exactly high-quality fonts, but they contain
these characters.

But if you want to use American dictionary-style pronunciation
markings, you won't find the oo with long mark and short mark (as in
loot and look). They're not in any font. You'd have to use an
Overstrike Field, with the Spacing Modifier Letter Macron 02C9 (and
it's too short anyway) or Breve 02D8.
