LaTeX support for yinitas font

[wschmi@ibm.net (Walter Schmidt)]

Hello,

there had been a complaint about the old german initials
font `yinit', which contains numerous bugs.  The corrected
version `yinitas', however, is not supported by the official
LaTeX package `oldgerm.sty', so I have decided to put my
private package `fraktur.sty' into the CTAN.

It supports the old german fonts `Fraktur' and `Schwabacher'
and the `yinitas' initials.  In contrast to oldgerm.sty the
fonts are completely integrated into the NFSS and the
package works together with german.sty.  The package comes
as a dtx (source) file, together with an installation
script, full documentation (in german -- sorry)  and a test
file.

The files may be found in the directory 

      /tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/other/fraktur

at ftp.tex.ac.uk or the CTAN mirror sites.

Walter
