Hi, a few words on gothic fonts: You do not need them to read, write (or listen!) or find your way through today's Germany. Period.

For those of you who want to use them anyway I uploaded two fonts on my ftp server Baron, Old Gondor

include the font face tag: <FONT FACE="BARRON, TIMES">This text will show up in Barron or Times if the Barron font is not installed onto the user's machine</FONT> OR: Use a grafics programm to generate gifs of every letter on your own machine and put them on a web page.

> Kai, can Germans get the old font on their computers? I know nobody who has them installed. I found some fonts on my font CD.

Bye,
