The Passenschien was a document printed up by the Allied Forces 
during WWII, for German soliders to present for surrender. Hence,
it was expected to be readable by the common German solider. I 
handed a copy to a friend who basically minored in German, and he 
found it unreadable due to the Fraktur font that was used for German 
at the time. That is, the primary font used for Roman characters for 
German up until 1945 is unreadable for readers of German. Does that
somehow not count as a "reasonable" font?
