The letters in serif have been improved for distictness.
Letters from Robert Pfeffer's Gothic font "Skiers" have now been copied in to sans.

Hi, Roel,

I answered most of this in your other posting, where I also discussed what is involved in a replacement.

I would have to at least see Robert's font before I could make a decision.

Cheers!

Dear gnu.org,

I 'm a regular contributor at the Gothic wikipedia and the current Gothic font which is rendered from gnu.org makes it in fact impossible for me to read a text fluently, as the font used has some characters which don't resemble the original Gothic script.

I would like to ask if you could replace the font with a good and better readable one. I have contact with Robert Pfeffer and he has made some very nice fonts for Gothic. I could ask him if he would allow free use of one of his fonts.

Kind regards,

Roel
