Package: ttf-beteckna Version: 0.4-2.1 Severity: wishlist
German letter sharp s is bad designed an unusable for german text. The left side has to be a long s (Unicode 017f) rounded at the top. Further readings for the german letter sharp s: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%9F (english) http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scharfes_s (german) There are to possible forms of the glyph for a retro 1920th german sans serif (Grotesk). The one is the so called "Sulzbacher Form" (see Futura, Drescher Grotesk, Neuzeit Grotesk) and the other is a ligatur ligature of long s and a kind of blackletter z (see original Erbar Grotesk, street signs in (western) Berlin). Have a look at the typeface "Fabrik" (german word for factory) with long s, and a few more ligatures. The typeface ist based on Beteckna with an old style sharps and hardly reworked. Get what you need. Please note: A few glyphs are reworked for an older retro style, see letter t and the DIN 1451 style a. http://uwes.suche-plus.de/galerie/galerie5b.html Bye Bye (Mit besten Grüßen) -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.6 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=de_DE@euro, LC_CTYPE=de_DE@euro (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
