Hello Wolfgang,
thank you for your hints!
I looked up "unifraktur" and many, many others and could learn what you meant
with
"less problems".
Nearly all of the hundreds of fraktur-fonts in the world have problems, as
reported by the
program "fontforge". But even worse, mostly there is a lack of umlauts, 2 of 3
needed
different "s" and a lack of ligatures. And only very, very few of them have in
addition to
the normal umlauts written with double points umlauts with a small "e" above
instead.
So, I returned to yfrak.pfb and ysmfrak.pfb and built my own "\glqq" and
"\grqq", out
of apostrophs, doubling, mirroring and lowering them.
Sometimes there is a need to do so, but generally, of course, I prefere to use
\quotation{...}!
Greetings, Rudolf
