I'm doing up a document in the style of the earliest printed documents. For this, I need to find a blackletter font that supports long s « ſ » and r rotunda « ꝛ ».

Are there any such fonts out there?

The long s 'ſ' can be found in many blackletter fonts, but the r rotunda 'ꝛ' seems to be very rare. There are several blackletter fonts by Peter Wiegel (Cat Fonts) that contain both glyphs and are for free:

Rotunda Pommerania
Berthold Mainzer Frkatur UNZ1A
Blankenburg UNZ1A
Fette UNZ Fraktur
Schwaben UNZ1A

Of these, Rotunda Pommerania comes closest to the blackletter type used in that incunable in Wikipedia. It's called rotunda (German: Rundgotisch – 'round Gothic'). However, Pommerania doesn't seem to have a standard 's'. You should also refer to the ReadMe files for infos on input (e.g. type '&' for the 'ꝛ'), since the fonts are not in OTF.

Both characters are also in:

UnifrakturCook
UnifrakturMaguntia

(They are also featured by Google Webfonts.) Download page: unifraktur.sourceforge.net
More blackletter fonts featuring the r rotunda are downloadable via Peter Wiegel's own website: www.peter-wiegel.de/fonts2.html
