[XeTeX] German Fraktur Unicode

[Benct Philip Jonsson]

Looking for a smart/Unicode Fraktur font
I found an old message from Gerrit Sangel
in the archives (from before my time):

<http://www.tug.org/pipermail/xetex/2008-July/010261.html>

> I modified the “Breitkopf Fraktur” from Dieter Steffmann (www.steffmann.de) to 
> have Opentype-Features, such as automatic ligatures, correct code points and 
> so on.
> It’s now licensed under the GPL, so I can send it to you.
> 
> In this font, the long s is really on the correct Unicode code point (ſ), and 
> the ligatures will be done automatically using Opentype. If you don’t want to 
> create a ligature, you have to set a Zero Width Non Joiner in between.

Is this font available publicly anywhere,
or if Gerrit reads this, perhaps he's willing
to send it to me?

(Thought: would it be possible to set up a
repository of free or suitably licenced fonts?)
