The red part was handwritten (probably 500 years ago) and possibly the black as well. There is probably no font that matches all the letters in your sample; and not all instances of the same letter in your sample are formed the same way. Here's an easy to page through group of blackletter fonts: http://snipurl.com/6yhpu [www_identifont_com] If you google for blackletter fonts you'll find a lot to choose from. free blackletter fonts will yield MOSTLY free versions. Also google for fraktur fonts. for any of these searches, you can also click on 'images' on the google page. This will bring you right to some pictures of fonts, but NOT necessarily the same ones that the text search does. - Herb
