I suppose they do support Fraktur compulsory ligatures?

Fraktur-compliant fonts

Post by AleCes »

OK, no problem, 8-) ! I just read the documentation of both fonts, and as I suspected, they use proprietary renderings, not Unicode compliant. Which means a hell of troubles if I have to convert back or convert to plain text. What I'd like to do is using a font that uses OpenType ligatures, that I can turn on through fontspec.
Did I make myself clear enough?

If you want a Unicode font for use with XeLaTeX, then maybe something at the UniFraktur site could help?

OK, first problem:
Can I get Latex to automatically display all non-terminal s as long s? It's mandatory in Fraktur!
Thank you!
