Problem with Fraktur fonts

G

I am using Word 2008 on a MacBook running Leopard.
I installed some German Fraktur TTF fonts and they seem to be working
fine. However, when I use MS Word 2008, one of the fonts does not
appear in the Word Font list. It does come up in the Format>Font menu
though. I have noticed though that sometimes if I type a non-
alphanumeric character, the font will change and I have to go to
Format>Font to change back to the font I was using. Also, in some of
the fonts, I have figured out how to type some of the ligatures and
the medial "s" but not in all. In addition, I cannot figure out how to
type the letters with umlauts (a, o, and u). In Windows, this is done
with Alt+xxx (e.g., a with an umlaut is Alt+132) but this does not
work. How is this done and how do I figure out what the keys are for
the ligatures and the medial "s"?

Typically Option+U followed by the character... Try a search in Word Help
for: international characters.
