Just saw that they also have a facsimile
Most excellent, thank you! Even I can make out 95% of this one (but I am German-impaired, so not quite all )
My poor pdfs look so bad in comparison.

If you install UnifrakturMaguntia and use a program that supports selecting OpenType stylistic sets (for example, MS Word), you can generate an image that looks pretty much like the facsimile that doubleshuffle linked to, if you select the third stylistic set of UnifrakturMaguntia.

(In MS Office, select Font > Advanced > OpenType Features > Stylistic Sets: 3)
Thank you for that tip. This is going to be so much easier than I expected.

Thanks to you all for the very helpful input. I've learned a lot on this thread.



One further question --- when I lay out the svg images, if I style for a width, such as 100%, they scale really small on a small screen, and appear very much smaller than the normal text.

I am very tempted to style them for *height in ems* instead, to keep them scaled with the font-size. But then, with a large font-size and narrow window, they overflow the screen width.

Does anyone have opinions on which is the lesser of two evils?
Should I keep them sized within the screen width, with the possibilty of them appearing very much smaller than adjoining text?

Or, should I keep them sized to match the font-size, with the possibility of them becoming too large to fit the screen width?
