I didn't check yet what characters are contained in which, but I guess ConTeXt would need some logic to enable proper typesetting of blackletter text, e.g. handling s and ſ. Have to look at Yannis' efforts for LaTeX, too. And I guess I must recode these fonts to follow Unicode standards (should be manageable with a fontforge script). Do you mean Yannis' yfrac etc.? IIRC, that depends on his special fonts. While browsing, I found this package: http://www.lg.fukuoka-u.ac.jp/~ynagata/khmpackage.html
Thank you. I'm trying to follow the most modern approach: OpenType features - if I manage to put the logic into the font, it's usable also with InDesign. Even if I don't know if ConTeXt (i.e. XeTeX/ LuaTeX) will handle stuff like alternative characters well. At the moment I'm struggling filling the GSUB tables with FontForge... (it's easy *if* you know exactly what you do)
PS "gothic latex" is an interesting search term :-)
I guess one will find more black than letters and more masked than type faces. ;-) Greetlings from Lake Constance! Hraban --- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/ http://wiki.contextgarden.net https://www.cacert.org (I'm an assurer)
