Gothic fonts

[Jeff]

I am looking for 2 kinds of special effect fonts I can use in Word 2002 for
short text inserts:

1. English letters that look like old "Gothic" print.
2. English letters that look as if they were Hebrew letters.

Are these available for free anywhere?

Thanks.

Cloister Black is a good one. It's available for free on
www.fontfile.com. I tried to email it to you but your
email address didn't work.

Thank you.

Old English Text MT is supplied with Greetings 99, Home Publishing 99,
Office 97 Small Business Edition SR2, Office Professional Edition 2003,
Picture It! 2000, Picture It! 2002, Publisher 2000, Publisher 98, TrueType
Font Pack 2 (and possibly with Office XP as well). It is described as
follows:

"There are two main kinds of what people tend to call Gothic letters: the
German Frakturs and the English Blackletter. The Frakturs have an x that
looks like an r with a mysterious disease, and the Blackletters have fiddly
bits in the middle like those you see in this Old English Text. Little is
known about the history of Old English Text, provided here by Monotype
Typography, but it has been beautifully made. It looks remarkably like the
famous Cloister Black designed by Morris Fuller Benton in 1904."

Note that in typography, "gothic" is also a synonym for sans serif and is
therefore ambiguous.
