-
-The macro package "yfonts" provides a LaTeX interface to the
-blackletter (old german) fonts designed by Yannis
-Haralambous: Gotisch, Schwabacher, Fraktur and the baroque
-initials.
-
-Despite their non-standard encoding, these fonts are fully
-integrated into LaTeX's font management (NFSS), and the
-package can be used together with german.sty. A macro is
-provided which starts a paragraph with an embedded initial.
-
-
-LaTeX files
------------
-yfonts.dtx LaTeX source
-yfonts.ins installation script
-frktest.tex short example

-
-The fonts
----------
-The package yfonts.sty supports the following fonts:
-
-ygoth Gotisch from <ctan>/fonts/gothic/ygoth
-yswab Schwabacher <ctan>/fonts/gothic/yswab
-yfrak Fraktur <ctan>/fonts/gothic/yfrak
-ysmfrak Fraktur (variant) <ctan>/fonts/gothic/yfrak
-yinitas initials <ctan>/fonts/gothic/yinit
-
-It depends on your TeX system, how the above fonts are to be
-installed. This topic is NOT discussed here.
-
-*** WARNING *** WARNING *** WARNING *** WARNING *** WARNING
-
-The font "ygoth" is known to produce Metafont errors. In
-rare cases such problems have been observed with the other
-fonts, too. This has nothing to do with the package
-yfonts.sty, it is due to incorrect Metafont code of the
-fonts.
-
-Questions and bug reports on this problem should be sent
-to Yannis Haralambous <yannis@fluxus-virus.com>, who has
-designed the old german fonts.
-
-
-Installing the LaTeX package
-----------------------------
-Put the files yfonts.dtx and yfonts.ins into a common
-directory. On a TDS-compliant TeX system, use:
-
- texmf/source/latex/yfonts
-
-Run LaTeX on yfonts.ins to generate the macro package file
-yfonts.sty. Move it to a directory where TeX searches for
-input files; in a TDS compliant system this should be:
-
- texmf/tex/latex/yfonts
-
-If you have properly set up your docstrip program and the
-above directory exists already, this is done automagically!
-
-Run LaTeX on yfonts.dtx to typeset the documentation of the
-LaTeX package. The documentation is written in german, so
-you will need german.sty and the german hyphenation
-patterns.
-
-Run LaTeX on the example frktest.tex to see an example using
-the blackletter fonts; again, german.sty is required.
-
-
-A short (and incomplete) english guide to yfonts.sty
-----------------------------------------------------
-The commands \gothfamily, \swabfamily, \frakfamily and
-\initfamily switch to Gotisch, Schwabacher, Fraktur or
-initials within the current group.
-
-\textgoth{...}, \textswab{...}, \textfrak{...} and
-\textinit{...} typeset their argument using old german
-fonts.
-
-Size changing command are honored; available sizes are 10pt,
-10.95pt, 12pt ... 24.88pt.
-
-There are no further font series or shapes. You may however
-use Schwabacher for emphasizing within a Fraktur
-environment, thus following historical practice.
-
-The regular \baselineskip is too large for the old german
-fonts; the command \fraklines selects a suitable
-\baselineskip for Fraktur or Schwabacher within the current
-group; you must repeat it after any size changing command.
-
-Some ASCII symbols are missing (there is e.g. no ";" in the
-Schwabacher font, and none of the fonts has a "@")
-
-A paragraph in Fraktur which starts with an embedded
-initial:
-
- {\frakfamily\fraklines
- \yinipar{E}in Absatz ...
-
- \par
- }
-
-\yinipar begins a new paragraph (like \par) and suppresses
-indentation (like \noindent). The end of the paragraph
-(blank line or \par) must be within in the same group as the
-command \fraklines.
-
-Use the regular LaTeX commands for umlauts, accents and
-special symbols. You may additionally load german.sty.
-
-Important ligatures:
-
- *a *e *o *u produce a special version of the umlauts with
- a small e instead of the dots. Load the package with the
- option [varumlaut] to get them with the regular commands,
- like \"a or "a, too.
-
- s: is the so-called final s
-
- the sharp s may be produced by \ss, "s or the ligature sz
-
-The command \etc produces a once popular symbol for "etc.";
-it is available in the Fraktur font only.
