It's easy enough to make sure that's installed on the system. Cheers!

If you are willing to use XeTeX instead of plain LaTeX, setting up a new font-family that uses an Unicode Blackletter typeface such as UniFraktur(1) is really easy.

Gothic style fonts in LyX/MikTeX
Hello, For a project, I wanted to use an old-English/Germanic style font. I found some in yfonts, but it's tricky to install/setup with MikTeX (not automatic) because it requires a local tex install. There are instructions at https://wiki.lyx.org/Tips/InstallType1Fonts and also on StackOverflow for Type1 installs. Not impossible, but less easy to reproduce between my PC at home and work. Is there a gothic-like font that will work well with LyX/MikTeX automagically?
