I'd enjoy making a wiki page. Do we have a program to print caracter code tables
or font tables? If not, I'd use a bundle of single \char commands to show which
characters there are in a special Fraktur font.
Are you a DANTE member? Then have a look at my German translation of Taco’s article about installing fonts for ConTeXt in the latest DTK.
(The original is still unpublished – my fault, sorry guys...)
Try \showfont
or
\usemodule[fnt-10]
\starttext
\ShowCompleteFont{name:Unifraktur}{20pt}{1}
\stoptext
There aren’t a lot of good fraktur text fonts around, and most of those are commercial. (I don’t know and didn’t check if Linotype published their old Dfr fonts as OpenType at all.)
Unifraktur Maguntia is probably the best (technically) you can get.
Maybe try something from http://www.steffmann.de/wordpress/test-2/, but they don’t have any OpenType features.
Hello Henning!

Yes, I'm a DANTE member and of course I read Taco's Article translated by you. It helped
me installing Fraktur-test-fonts.

Thank you for your other hints!

There must be somewhere in contxtgarden.net or wiki.contextgarden.net an article/page
on making "wiki pages". Do you know where it is? I can't find it again.
