\begin{abstract}
  This bundle provides OpenType versions of the Old German fonts \family{yfrak},
  \family{ygoth} and \family{yswab} designed by Yannis Haralambous in \MF{}
  (1990).

  A style file \file{yfonts-otf.sty} is included to load these fonts easily;
  it is meant as a replacement for LuaLaTeX and XeLaTeX of
  \file{yfonts.sty}.

  A Type\,1 version of these fonts has been provided by Thorsten Bronger (2002).

  The \family{yinit} font (initials) is already available as in OpenType format,
  thanks to Élie Roux.

  Please beware of the \emph{experimental} status of the current
  version~(\version).

  All three fonts are covered by OFL licence, style file and documentation
  are under LPPL-1.3 licence.
\end{abstract}

\section{Usage}

\pkg{yfonts-otf.sty} loads \pkg{fontspec} and mimics what the
\pkg{yfonts} package does for the  Type\,1 version: it defines three font
families |\frakfamily|, |\gothfamily| and |\swabfamily| and the corresponding
commands with arguments |\textgoth{}|, |\textfrak{}|, and |\textswab{}|.

All three families are loaded with all ligatures activated, an |s|
automatically prints a long~\textfrak{ſ} (initial and middle form) or a
round~{\frakfamily{s\hspace{1sp}}} (final form)%
\footnote{See section~\ref{sec:long-s} for details.}.
Coding |"a|, |"e|, |"o|, |"u|, |"s| is only supported through Babel’s
German shorthands to produce \textfrak{ä, ë, ö, ü, ß}.
Nowadays, most keyboards give access to the Unicode characters |ä|,
|ë|, |ö|, |ü| and |ß|, so typing them directly is a better alternative.

In the \family{yfrak} family, the command |\etc| prints {\etc}
a variant of the \textfrak{uſw} abbreviation while |\Jvar| prints {\Jvar}
a variant of \textfrak{J} (suggestion of Daniel Sanders, mentioned by Yannis).

The OpenType feature |Alternate=0| turns \textfrak{ä, ë, ö, ü} into
{\frakfamily\addfontfeature{Alternate=0} ä, ë, ö, ü}.
It works for the \family{yfrak} and \family{yswab} families but not for
\family{ygoth} (variant not available in the original version).

The \family{yswab} family offers |CharacterVariant=1| (|+cv01|) and
|CharacterVariant=2| (|+cv02|) which respectively change the exclam and
question marks:
{\swabfamily !} into {\swabfamily\addfontfeature{CharacterVariant=1}!}
and {\swabfamily ?} into {\swabfamily\addfontfeature{CharacterVariant=2}?}.

Used with the \family{ygoth} family, the |StylisticSet=1| (|+ss01|)
feature provides variants for the long~s and its ligatures:
{\gothfamily ſ, ſi, ſſ, ſſi, ſt} are turned into
{\gothfamily\addfontfeature{CharacterVariant=1} ſ, ſi, ſſ, ſſi, ſt}.

\pagebreak[4]
These features can be added locally anywhere in the document body, f.i.:\\
|\frakfamily\addfontfeature{Alternate=0}|\\
or using \pkg{yfonts-otf.sty}’s options \opt{varumlaut} and
\opt{gothvarlongs}, f.i.:\\
|\usepackage[varumlaut,gothvarlongs]{yfonts-otf}|\\
\opt{varumlaut} applies globally to both \family{yfrak} and \family{yswab}
families, \opt{gothvarlongs} applies only to \family{ygoth} family.

It is also possible to use these fonts without loading \pkg{yfonts-otf.sty},
then I recommend to call them by \emph{file name}, as XeTeX cannot find fonts in
the texmf tree by \emph{font name}%
\footnote{Unless they have been declared as \emph{System} fonts…}, f.i.:\\
|\setmainfont{yfrak.otf}[|\texttt{\ColorVerb<options>}|]|
or |\fontspec{yswab.otf}[|\texttt{\ColorVerb<options>}|]|, this
will work with both LuaTeX and XeTeX.

\section{Coding the long/round s}
\label{sec:long-s}

The traditional German rules for long ({\frakfamily ſ\kern1pt}) and
round ({\frakfamily\shorts}) are somewhat complex,
a summary can be found in the Unifraktur Maguntia Manual
(\file{Dokumentation\_en\_fraktur.pdf}, \cite{UF}).

\pkg{yfonts-otf} borrows the automatic choice from the Unifraktur Maguntia
fonts. It uses OpenType features (|ss11|), according to the authors it fails
in less than 1~\% of the occurences.
When the algorithm fails, it is possible to force a round s
(coding |s=| or |\shorts|)  or a long~ſ (coding {\ColorVerb ſ}\,%
\footnote{On Unix systems the \opt{Compose} key can be used:
    \opt{Compose f s}.}
or |\longs|).

Loading the \pkg{yfonts-otf} package activates the |ss11|
feature unless option \opt{gothvarlongs} is added, then the |ss01| is
activated instead (together with |cv01|) for the \family{ygoth} family so that
the long~ſ and its ligatures are printed as
{\gothfamily\addfontfeature{CharacterVariant=1} ſ, ſi, ſſ, ſſi, ſt}
instead of {\gothfamily ſ, ſi, ſſ, ſſi, ſt} (default).

Aliases are provided for these features:
|Style=longs| for |StylisticSet=11| (|+ss11|) and
|Style=gothvarlongs| for |StylisticSet=1| (|+ss01|).

Experts might want to type {\ColorVerb ſ} (U+17F) or {\ColorVerb s}
(U+073) to keep the full control of the {\ColorVerb s} form; this requires
either to deactivate the |ss11| feature after loading the \pkg{yfonts-otf}
package, or to use a direct |\setmainfont{}[]| or |\fontspec{}[]| call.
Feature |CharacterVariant=1| (|+cv01|) may be used for the \family{ygoth}
family to get the long~ſ variant
{\gothfamily\addfontfeature{CharacterVariant=1} ſ, ſi, ſſ, ſſi, ſt}
instead of {\gothfamily ſ, ſi, ſſ, ſſi, ſt}.

\section{List of optional ligatures}

Ligatures are split into three groups which may be deactivated globally or
inside a group with the command
|\addfontfeature{RawFeature=-|\textit{\ColorVerb ligname}|}|%
\footnote{\pkg{yonts-otf} specifically defines \cmd{ZWNJ} (\cmd{char"200C}) to
  break unwanted ligatures: {\frakfamily ent\ZWNJ{}ziffern} (no {\frakfamily tz}
  lig) can be coded \texttt{\ColorVerb ent\cmd{ZWNJ} ziffern} or
  \texttt{\ColorVerb ent\cmd{ZWNJ}\{\}ziffern}.}

\section{Samples}

A practical usage of these fonts can be found in file \file{Erlkonig.ltx} to
be compiled with \pkg{lualatex}.
It shows the beginning of Goethe’s Erlkönig poem typeset with each of them.

\section{Compatibility with other packages}

\begin{description}
\item[\pkg{microtype}] is compatible with \pkg{yfonts-otf} (protusion,
  expansion and letter spacing) but as we have no specific \file{mt-*.cfg}
  config file yet for the yfonts\footnote{Contributions welcome!},
  adding\\
  |\DeclareMicrotypeAlias{yfrak.otf}{TU-basic}|\\
  |\DeclareMicrotypeAlias{yswab.otf}{TU-basic}|\\
  |\DeclareMicrotypeAlias{ygoth.otf}{TU-basic}|\\
  after loading \pkg{microtype} is recommended to avoid (lots of) warnings
  about missing characters.

\item[\pkg{soul}] is old (2003) and not recommended for OpenType fonts.
  Its command |\so{}| brakes ligatures (f.i. |\so{Wasser}|), for
  letter spacing \pkg{microtype}’s command |\textls{}| should be preferred.
  With LuaTeX, \pkg{lua-ul} is a much better choice for striking or
  underlining.
