Talk:Antiqua-Fraktur dispute

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I have created this article from scratch and using the German verions - de:Antiqua-Fraktur-Streit. I need some counsel on how to proceed for the following points:

• The inclusion of the text of the "Normalschrifterlass" in full. In the German article, it is given, but I am not sure how useful it is there - should I translate it and add it ?
• {{Template:German}} does not quite work, since the German article hasn't got the the same name. I have added the same text, but is there a better template to use ?

Regards

Thanks a lot for the translation. I think it's okay not to include the whole text of the Normalschrifterlass. It's annoying that such a template requires the article name to be identical. There should be a second one that allows translated article names. ― j. 'mach' wust | ✑ 08:05, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Interesting and well-written article--what a fascinating topic to those of us who are used to scripts feeling like things that are inevitable fixed forever. Thanks a lot! Tpholland (talk) 22:01, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Arguments pro Fraktur

I intend to give a short overview of pro-Fraktur arguments which are not of socio-cultural but of typographical nature. As I have to retrieve the Reinecke book from the library, please allow a few weeks for this until after Easter. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by LHOON (talk • contribs) 10:25, 22 March 2006 (UTC) sorry forgot to sign!

No problem! I look forward to seeing what typographical arguments Reinicke puts forth in favor of a typography that gives most people a headache! :-) (I did read Buddenbrooks all the way through in a Fraktur edition once, but it's not something I'm eager to do again.)

[edit] Countries under German cultural influence?

The article should have a section on the use of fraktur in countries under German cultural influence. Fraktur was widely used in Finland until the 1890s. Newspapers were printed in fraktur in the 1910s. -- Petri Krohn 11:46, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
