>> incidentally, contrary to what most people seem to think, the nazis actually tried to get rid of Fraktur
Wiki says they were for it before they were against it:
The Fraktur typefaces were particularly heavily used during the time of Nazism, when they were initially represented as true German script, the press scolded for its frequent use of "Roman characters" under "Jewish influence" and German émigrés urged to use only "German script".[6] However, in 1941 Fraktur was banned in a Schrifterlass (edict on script) signed by Martin Bormann as so-called Schwabacher Judenlettern ("Schwabacher Jewish letters").[7]
Yeah, it's pretty hard to figure what to ban as "too Jewish" when the criterions are so generic they can easily apply to everything the same.
Folk knowledge has it that the nazis got rid of Fraktur and Sütterlin because they figured it'd be easier to adapt to the modern script when you rule the world than to get the world to adopt to your weird local script. I'm sceptical as to whether there's any truth to that claim -- although Germans are known for ruthless efficiency, the nazis had a tendency to put their ideology first.
