Are there any embossed fonts?

Question

I there some (build in) font like:

Fluted Germanica

enter image description here

Shadowed Germanica

enter image description here

Embossed Germanica

enter image description here

I would like use for math, so I need characters like { too.

Or the installing and using .ttf file is the only way?

There's a manual for converting fonts for use with pdftex: http://www.radamir.com/tex/ttf-tex.htm However, I would discourage you from doing so, and suggest you to switch to XeLaTeX. And you cannot use any font for math easily, for math you need dozens of dozens special tweaks for each font. — yo', Dec 05 '12 at 07:56
If you are limiting yourself to tex-ready fonts, you might have a look here: http://www.tug.dk/FontCatalogue/. Also http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/25221/outlined-characters — Steven B. Segletes, May 17 '13 at 17:48
\mathbb{} from the amsfonts package is an embossed math font, though it is not a blackletter font like Germanica. I mention it because it is not clear from your question whether you are specifically seeking blackletter fonts or merely the embossed feature. — Steven B. Segletes, Jun 05 '13 at 12:33
@masu I do not solve this. But I used this http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/85594/how-to-change-color-of-edge-of-characters instead. — boucekv, Oct 25 '13 at 07:48
@boucekv what do you think about flagging this question as a duplicate of that one? — masu, Oct 25 '13 at 08:40
Embossed is different because the border have not constant length and its shape can vary much more. But the effect is similar enough. I can non judge it without being biased. (I prefere not to mark it as a duplicate.) — boucekv, Oct 25 '13 at 10:50

First see traditional German sans-serif (and serif) blackboard-bold symbols. With packages mathalfa or doublestroke (TeX Live) / dstroke (MiKTeX) you come close to that, what you want. Similar is \mathbb from package amsfonts.
