HOLY SHIT this is a lot of discussion.

i grepped it for the following link, but it wasnt’t there, so i though i might as well post it:
http://www.signographie.de/cms/front_content.php?idcat=29

it’s about an issue of a german typography magazine with *very* interesting links at the bottom. for people not speaking german:

“Gestaltungsvorlage des Versal-ß” means something like “design template for the capital ß”
(linking here: http://www.signographie.de/cms/upload/pdf/SIGNA9_SHARP_S_howto.pdf )

and

“Glyphenvergleich Versal-ß” means “glyph comparison of the capital ß”.
(linking here: http://www.signographie.de/cms/upload/pdf/SIGNA9_SHARP_S_variants.pdf )

this should get us going, i guess.

PS: sorry for the plenk (=inappropriate space) before closing parentheses, most link parsers fail to exclude these
