    Hmm. I have my doubts about what those requirements would be for a sign
    in front of travel agency written "PREßBURG REISEN", maybe ignorance and
    wish to look very Germanic in Bratislava by using a characteristic ß.
    Also I don't think there is a technical reason behind writing "GROßE
    HAUSMESSE" on a poster.

    I have no problem with your proposal to use a <ß, FVS1>.

    P. A.
