Fonts & Character Sets ⇒ Fraktur-compliant fonts

OK, downsizing my request: just give me a shortcut in order to insert it handily instead of copying/pasting every time from charmap.

OK, at least could you give me a hint on how to include hyphenation patterns containing ſ? Where do I find the hyphenation file and how should I modify it?
Thank you,

Bump! What about it? It's the biggest hindering to efficient typesetting of Franktur text.

You could change your keyboard layout to german. The long ſ should be easier to find (on my linux its <ALT GR> + <s>).
For hyphenation you could use \usepackage[german]{babel}. This should be close enough for starting.
If you need more help, you know exactly what a Minimal Working example is.

<ALT GR> + <s>> gives Eszett (ß) not Long s (ſ) which is peculiar to Fraktur. The problem with hyphenation is that this character it's not recognized neither by babel or polyglossia, I need to modify the babel/polyglossia hyphenation database if I want to make use of syllabification.
