Introduction

This Wiki-Page deals with summarizing experiences of some of the fonts available on:

                             http://unifraktur.sourceforge.net/maguntia.html [1]
                             http://www.peter-wiegel.de/MainzerFraktur.html  [2]
                             http://www.peter-wiegel.de/Leipzig.html         [3]

[1]: You shall see both a German and an English language flag. The font is based on Peter Wiegel’s font "Berthold Mainzer Fraktur" [2]. For main differences see in [1] the chapter "About the Font". There you shall find Manuals (with General Rules for Typesetting Fraktur) by Gerrit Ansmann too, written in antiqua as well as in fraktur. Interesting is a set of orthography rules and their changes over various centuries beginning in the 16th up to today.
