This is LaTeX document with The Funniest Joke in the World typeseted in fraktur using blacklettert1 package (T1-alike encoded variants of Yannis Haralammbous's old German fonts).
Why? Well, just for fun :)
When you have all the requirements (as listed below) installed, just run make to generate pdf file or make joke.svg for producing svg output instead.
Besides having pdflatex from Tex Live installed on your Linux distro, you need to have the following ctan packages installed to build the pdf:
- babel-german
- gothic
- yfonts-t1
- blacklettert1
- lettrine
For svg export to work, you need to have dvisvgm tool (and latex, obviously) installed .
On Fedora, which provides Tex Live distribution packaged in it's repositories, you can prefix the name of a ctan package with texlive- to install the rpm package:
# dnf install textlive-babel-germanMoreover one can also use virtual provides feature to install rpm package with given tex file, which is usefull when latex build fails on some missing file:
# dnf install 'tex(german.ldf)'
# dnf install 'tex(yfrak.pfb)'
