[QUOTE="chrisild, post: 436166, member: 39"]Yeah, those different usernames - long story. And yes, of course asking for more info is fine. :) I edited my previous reply and added the link to the Sütterlin script. In some ways that (hand)writing style is similar to the printed "Fraktur" that you may have come across on Nazi Germany's coinage for example. Both are "old and odd" these days, but Fraktur is a little easier to read methinks. What they have in common is the differentiation between the "long s" and the "round s". But some Sütterlin characters are really weird indeed, like the lowercase E, or the uppercase B and S. Well, Fraktur is still used (in print) from time to time when you want to convey "tradition" - be it newspaper titles or pub signs. But Sütterlin ... don't think that is still used by anybody.
