\label{package:oldgerm}


The \package{oldgerm} package supports the usage of the broken (aka
old) German typefaces created by Yannis Haralambous. These typefaces
deliver Fraktur, Schwabacher, and Gothic fonts to you. You can get
them from the CTAN or from \TeX{} user groups.

A description of this work was published in the article

  \textsc{Y. Haralambous}: Typesetting Old German: Fraktur,
  Schwabacher, Gotisch and Initials.
  In \textit{\TeX{}90 Conference Proceedings}.
  Cork, Ireland, Sept.~1990, pages~129--138.
  Published as TUGboat Vol.~12, No~1 (Mar.~1992).

A user manual is available as part of the distribution. During the
installation the file \file{oldgerm.drv} was created.
%
\begin{fixme}
  |\OnlyDescription| does not appear in the driver file. But this
  seems to be an error, the \ext{dtx} file has a |\StopEventually| tag.
\end{fixme}
%
Edit this
file and remove the percent in front of |\OnlyDescription|. Then
\LaTeX{} this file until the labels do not change any more. The
resulting \DVI{} file is the user manual.

No options are supported by this package.

The package uses the files \file{oldgerm.sty}, \file{Uyfrak.fd},
\file{Uygoth.fd}, \file{Uyswab.fd}, and \file{Uyinit.fd}.

\Revision 1.2 1994/02/01 20:48:26 schrod
Corrected reference to Yannis' article: That's the \TeX90 conference,
it was in September, the TUGboat appeared in March.

Changed ``needs file[s] \dots'' to ``uses file[s] \dots'' This seems
(for me) to be better English.

\Revision 1.1 1994/01/31 21:16:16 schrod
Replaced descriptions of style options by package abstracts.
