Dear Unicoder, do you know of any reasonable Fraktur (aka. blackletter) font, preferably shareware or freeware? By "reasonable", I mean the following minimum requirements: - encoding complies with Unicode, - font conprises most of Latin-1 (at the very least letters a-z, A-Z, the umlauts äÄöÖüÜ, the Sharp S (ß), the digits and the punctuation marks, - contains LONG S in its proper place (U+017F), - contains low-9, and high-6, quotation marks (U+201E, U+201C, U+201A, and U+2019), - contains the mandatory ligatures ch, ck, ff, fi, fl, ft, ll, ſch, ſi, ſſ, ſt, ß and tz, and handles them automatically.
Nice to have: - has a double-hyphen (akin to "=") for U+2010, U+2011, and 00AD. So far, I have not yet seen a reasonable Fraktur font. My recent note to Waldenfont (cc: Unicode-List) is meant as an attempt to find one. Best wishes, Otto Stolz
