Ah, OK. I tried to use another computer and then my first post didn't appear in Schwabacher blackletter. Apparantly it only works on my computer, unfortunately, since I have downloaded the font. But I could see the text in Old English blackletter, priobably because that's a more common font. (It's a standard option in Microsoft Word.)
The text was in Swedish (with archaïc spelling), means "Vi, Nicholas the Second, Emperor of All Russia, Tsar of Poland and Grand Prince to Finland, do make known that..." and I wanted to have it in blackletter, because that's how the imperial-grand ducal proclamations appeared in Finland right up to NII's reign, during which Finland started to exchange blackletter script (Fraktur aka "Gothic script") with antiqua aka Roman script.
But the Russian version appears in Cyrillic chancery style? and italics here, doesnt it?
Божиею милостию, Мы, Николай Вторый, Император и Самодержец Всероссийский, Царь Польский, Великий Князь Финляндский и прочая, и прочая, и проча, oбъявляемъ всЪмъ вЪрнымъ Нашимъ подданнымъ...
