...And, the Fraktur founts available on-line may lack many of
the needed ligature glyphs. In any caſe, theſe founts are not
uſually available in Unicode/OpenType format.
Until better ſupport exists, ſome kind of fount embedding may be
the beſt way to go. Walden Fonts recently releaſed 18 attrac<ZWJ>tive
Fraktur founts which are deſcribed in this PDF file along with ſome
intereſting notes upon Fraktur history and typeſetting:
www.waldenfont.com/public/gbpmanual.pdf
(For the bibliographic databaſe here, which is private, the "font face"
tag is uſed for Fraktur book titles.)
John Hudson and/or Adam Twardoch may have links to newer Fraktur
fonts which are OpenType/Unicode.
Beſt regards,
James Kass.
