I run a standard Ubuntu Linux and now this means Tesseract 5.1.0.

Back under Tesseract 4.0 and 4.1, there were two separate files
swe-frak.traineddata and dan_frak.traineddata that one could
download and get very good results with old Swedish and Danish
book pages in Gothic/Fraktur typesetting. When I upgraded Ubuntu
Linux and got Tesseract 5.1, these were missing.

When I copy the old file from
/usr/share/tesseract-ocr/4.00/tessdata/dan_frak.traineddata
to
/usr/share/tesseract-ocr/5/tessdata/dan_frak.traineddata
It doesn't produce very useful results. There are lots of errors,
far more than expected.

What to do? Should those, who made those files, make new versions
that will work with the new Tesseract? Or will Tesseract finally
incorporate Fraktur reading without the need to load separate
training files?
