mfnfss
Provides specialized font support for typesetting documents using Old German and Pandora font families.
Overview
Enables access to two distinct and specialized font collections for unique typographic needs in LaTeX documents:
- The oldgerm component facilitates typesetting with traditional Old German fonts, particularly useful for historical documents, Germanic studies, or documents requiring classical German typography.
- The pandora component allows usage of the Pandora font family, offering an alternative aesthetic for documents requiring a distinctive typographic style.
Particularly valuable for historians, linguists, and designers working with historical German texts or seeking alternative typographic expressions in their documents.
Getting Started
To use the mfnfss bundle, include one of its packages in your document preamble depending on which fonts you want to use:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{oldgerm} % For old German fonts
% or
\usepackage{pandora} % For Pandora fonts
Make sure the corresponding fonts are installed in your TeX distribution.
