Type Gothic with a Gothic keyboard in Linux (type directly, no websites needed)

[Dicentis a roellingua@gmail.com [gothic-l]]

It just means that if I go to my keyboards in Linux and I change it to
Russian, I can type like this:

здравствуйте!

If I copy this, I will get cyrillic symbols. If I copy a FONT with Russian,
you get Latin symbols, not Cyrillic ones. I can also change my keyboard to
Gothic:

𐌷𐌴𐌹𐌻𐍃! 𐌹𐌺 𐌼𐌰𐌲 𐍂𐍉𐌳𐌾𐌰𐌽 𐌲𐌿𐍄𐌹𐍃𐌺𐍃!

If I copy this, I will copy Gothic unicode letters instead of Latin ones,
you can't do this with .ttf as far as I know. When you copy a text which is
generated with .ttf, you get Latin symbols. Just look at the Gothic
wikipedia and try to copy the Gothic symbols, you won't get Latin symbols
back in a .txt file but Gothic unicode characters.
