Switch between fraktur and standard fonts

up vote

I am trying to create a document which I can typeset either using the standard font or fraktur.

Consider the following MWE:

documentclass[a4paper]scrbook

usepackage[utf8]inputenc
usepackage[german]babel

usepackageyfonts

begindocument

frakfamily

Test

Tes:t

This:: should have one colon.

Another example: The colon should stay here.

enddocument

Typesetting it as-is, there is no problem. If I remove the frakfamily command to typeset the document with the standard font, the colon used for customizing the fraktur output is displayed inside the output.

How to switch between fraktur and standard fonts on-the-fly? And is there a way to declare the usage of fraktures for all document content inside the preamble?

To clarify it a bit more: The document should be typeset either completely with fraktur or with the standard fonts. As I do not want to create two different source files, I was searching for a way to automatically suppress single colons after an s when using the standard fonts. (This would be easy when using an external script, but I would need another intermediate source file beside the existing one in this case.)

in the fractur font s: is a ligature. In pdflatex it is imho not possible to add such a ligature on the fly to a font. With xelatex or lualatex it could be possible.

@UlrikeFischer If I understand your comment correctly, one would have to define the s: ligature in the used standard font to behave the same like s to solve the problem? If it is not possible with pdflatex, I might be able to switch the engine - while I prefer lualatex over xelatex.

Find on your system the file tex-text.map and copy it to your working directory under the name fraktur.map (or whatever you want). Then append to it a line so that it looks like:

; TECkit mapping for TeX input conventions <-> Unicode characters

LHSName "TeX-text"

pass(Unicode)

; ligatures from Knuth's original CMR fonts
U+002D U+002D <> U+2013 ; -- -> en dash

U+0060 U+0060 <> U+201C ; `` -> left double quote

U+0021 U+0060 <> U+00A1 ; !` -> inverted exclam

; additions supported in T1 encoding
U+002C U+002C <> U+201E ; ,, -> DOUBLE LOW-9 QUOTATION MARK
U+003C U+003C <> U+00AB ; << -> LEFT POINTING GUILLEMET

; additions to suppress fraktur ligature
U+0073 U+003A <> U+0073 ; s: -> LATIN SMALL LETTER S

Then run

teckit_compile fraktur.map

which will create a file named fraktur.tec.

Then, you can use this mapping file with xelatex like this:

documentclassarticle
usepackage[german]babel
usepackagefontspec
usepackageyfonts

setmainfontLatin Modern Roman[Mapping=fraktur]

With help from this answer, here's a solution with xelatex:

Find on your system the file tex-text.map and copy it to your working directory under the name fraktur.map (or whatever you want). Then append to it a line so that it looks like:

; TECkit mapping for TeX input conventions <-> Unicode characters

LHSName "TeX-text"
RHSName "UNICODE"

pass(Unicode)

; ligatures from Knuth's original CMR fonts
U+002D U+002D <> U+2013 ; -- -> en dash
U+002D U+002D U+002D <> U+2014 ; --- -> em dash

U+0027 <> U+2019 ; ' -> right single quote
U+0027 U+0027 <> U+201D ; '' -> right double quote
U+0022 > U+201D ; " -> right double quote

U+0060 <> U+2018 ; ` -> left single quote
U+0060 U+0060 <> U+201C ; `` -> left double quote

U+0021 U+0060 <> U+00A1 ; !` -> inverted exclam
U+003F U+0060 <> U+00BF ; ?` -> inverted question

; additions supported in T1 encoding
U+002C U+002C <> U+201E ; ,, -> DOUBLE LOW-9 QUOTATION MARK
U+003C U+003C <> U+00AB ; << -> LEFT POINTING GUILLEMET
U+003E U+003E <> U+00BB ; >> -> RIGHT POINTING GUILLEMET

; additions to suppress fraktur ligature
U+0073 U+003A <> U+0073 ; s: -> LATIN SMALL LETTER S

Then run

teckit_compile fraktur.map

which will create a file named fraktur.tec.

Then, you can use this mapping file with xelatex like this:

documentclassarticle
usepackage[german]babel
usepackagefontspec
usepackageyfonts

setmainfontLatin Modern Roman[Mapping=fraktur]

begindocument

This:: should have one colon.

Another example: The colon should stay here.

This does not seem to affect section titles, see sectionTes:t for example.

@epR8GaYuh you are using scrbook, which sets the section titles in sans serif, so you will have to add the mapping instruction also to the sans family with e.g. setsansfontLatin Modern Sans[Mapping=fraktur]
