Yeah, and I'd admit that the Strötzner GRO[SZ]BAUSTELLE samples are
perfectly readable. I hate the side effects of its introduction as
new character, not the design. For the BI Leipzig samples I'd be
curious what professionals think about it, is it more like an icon
than a character, new or otherwise ?

It just needs one edition of Duden + Googlebot + MS spellchecker
deciding that they have had enough of the strange SS rule and ignore
it, and all old software is doomed, or drops szlig as hopeless case.
