Do blackletter faces belong to one of the "standard" font families such as sans serif or serif or consitute a separate font family on their own.

I am little confused as to what exactly applies.

Dimitris,

They are on their own.

The same applies to script typefaces.

Check out this link: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?event=extensionDetail&extid=1401018. It is a 10-card template in a 8.5 x 11 paper for Illustrator so you can simply layout the cards according to the template. And as long as your printer is also setup correctly, your business cards should be ready for print.

You are welcome, Dimitris.

So far, I am afraid you are out of luck with blackletter Windows fonts:

Slightly outdated, historical:

Up to Vista, by version, seemingly growing all the way:
