Description

The real songbook uses a Fraktur/Gothic/Blackletter typeface for all song titles. The current FontSpec already has a file property for custom fonts — but it needs to be verified that this works end-to-end with a Fraktur .ttf/.otf file.

Known potential issues:

  • Encoding fixes may be needed for German umlauts (ä, ö, ü, ß) in Fraktur fonts with OpenPDF
  • Custom font loading in PdfBookRenderer and PdfFontMetrics may need adjustments

Scope

  • Verify/Fix: Custom font loading in PdfBookRenderer and PdfFontMetrics
  • Test: End-to-end test with a Fraktur/Blackletter font file
  • Document: Usage instructions in example config showing how to configure a custom title font
