More info from Lord Kyl MacKay
Traditional Gothic, 17th c. is a blackletter in the manner of seventeenth-century gothic lettering: heavy vertical strokes, hooked terminals and capitals cut with fine interior lines that give them a carved, ceremonial look. The font is capitals only, 54 characters in all (the lowercase keys type the same capitals), and it carries no figures or punctuation, so it works as a headline and initials face rather than a text font. Released in 2009, it suits book covers, posters, certificates, tavern and brewery branding, music packaging and any design that needs an authentic historic voice.

This is a nice font. I had trouble using it in Libreoffice Calc and Inkscape. These apps, and probably others, don't like the punctuation in the name (either the , or the . or both). If you rename the font to, say for example, "Traditional Gothic 17th Century" then it works (using fonttools or something similar).
This makes me think that this website should probably investigate and mass rename fonts with punctuation? I tried to upload my fixed version but for some reason it won't let me.
Many thanks to Lord Kyl MacKay for the hard work.
