This Wiki-Page deals with summarizing experiences of some of the fonts available on:
http://unifraktur.sourceforge.net/maguntia.html [1] http://www.peter-wiegel.de/MainzerFraktur.html [2] http://www.peter-wiegel.de/Leipzig.html [3]
'''Unifraktur.Maguntia [1]:''' You shall see both a German and an English language flag. The font is based on
'''Leipzig Fraktur [3]:''' Web page is in German. Peter Wiegel made this font for the same reasons as with "Mainzer Fraktur".
The formats OT, T1, TT of the font are all together better found at another address:
https://www.chip.de/downloads/Leipzig-Fraktur-Font_36248614.html [3a] 
This web page is in German too and admittedly the advertising makes it even more complicated to find the right download button.
Because words with accents on letters normally weren't typeset in Fraktur, but in Antiqua, á, à, ó, ò, ú, ù, the $-Symbol and others
were free to designate ligatures and the round s. At least FAQs in English can be found under http://www.peter-wiegel.de/index.html
after the German ones. The author points to a program (for MS operating systems only) to facilitate inputting Fraktur text with the right ligatures: http://www.ligafaktur.de/ If ConTeXt could supply word-division on request it wouldn't perhaps be too difficult to make such a program in lua.
