Typesetting Old German: Fraktur, Schwabacher, Gotisch and Initials

Résumé

Typesetting in the old style, with the corresponding types, besides being an art, is also a real pleasure. METAFONT allows the creation of faithful copies of these types and TeX gives the possibility of using them in the most traditional manner. In this spirit, the necessary fonts and macros to typeset in the old German types Gotisch (also called Textur), Schwabacher and Fraktur are presented in this paper, together with an historical introduction to each of them. Also, a set of initials is described. Rules for typesetting in these types are given, together with extracts from the original sources.
