How do I go about finding a font that contains all my special characters?
I have at least ſ (long s), aͤ (a^e SMALL e ABOVE), ʒ etc. Most are from a historical context. And a lot of ligatures. As I understand Mac OS is able to produce arbitrary ligatures. But will this work on a Linux too?
That reminds me: I was considering making font packs for some nice freeware gothic fonts. 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). Any thoughts on that subject? Did someone already care for proper gothic typesetting with ConTeXt? Greetlings from Lake Constance!
