BTW, I’m getting vibes that Frakt (581) is outline-derived from Fetter Fraktur.

A keeper PDF! Thanks.

I just wish Sangue was not “unqualified” - it’s my favorite.

Good selection!
But, missing in this collection in the contemporary section, is the well endowed FF Karo :)

Thanks Stephen. You are so

Thanks Stephen. You are so fast ... even in the middle of the night. No chance for me to announce my PDF myself ;-)
But I like to translate some of my German notes. All fonts are for Mac OS X and Windows, except Tannenberg (Windows Type 1 only). More than 95 % of the fonts carry the famous long s. The fonts seem to work well. I had a crash (Mac, InDesign CS 2, FontExpolrer X) when loading all 150 fonts and my PDF was nearly finished, but who the hell is working with 150 blackletter fonts simultaneously? Some of the fonts (10 - 15 %) are not embeddable. That makes my file huge, because I converted most of the showings to path. The PDF is 3.9 MB. Have fun ...

Ok, Jürgen Siebert of

Ok, Jürgen Siebert of FontShop Germany has informed me that various foundries contributed fonts, but none are licensed elsewhere for a fee (at least not from FontShop). So it’s not a CD of commercial fonts.

He has just made a PDF available showing all the fonts on the CD.

thx for the infos!

Oh! I want this book in the vendor area!

Wow. What’s the designer

nike — Fri, 24 Mar 2006 00:16:56 -0800

Wow. What’s the designer and copyright info on those? I wonder if they made a deal with the prolific digitizer Dieter Steffmann

Yes, they did. the book includes the most common blackletter fonts (fontshop, linotype etc.) and has 2 sections about more modern blackletter interpretations. When I’m back home I’ll search after the list of the fonts on the cd.

jürgen siebert from http://www.fontblog.de has more pic of the book and a small making of for all german readers.

Anybody has the list of the
