'''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 [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. Me however, I found it easier to define correspondend macros (See further down). At least FAQs in English can be found in [3b] after the German ones. The author points to a program (Not examined by me, for MS operating systems only) to facilitate inputting Fraktur text automatically with the right ligatures in [3c].

After having done so, the same text will be "tweaked" by "\ufb".
Compare the two prints. The result is here: [[File:wiki-yfrak.pdf]]
See [5], the 6th verse.
