I there some (build in) font like:

Fluted Germanica

enter image description here

Shadowed Germanica

enter image description here

Embossed Germanica

enter image description here

from Germanica family

I would like use for math, so I need characters like { too.

Or the installing and using .ttf file is the only way?

There's a manual for converting fonts for use with pdftex: radamir.com/tex/ttf-tex.htm However, I would discourage you from doing so, and suggest you to switch to XeLaTeX. And you cannot use any font for math easily, for math you need dozens of dozens special tweaks for each font. – tohecz Dec 5 '12 at 7:56

If you are limiting yourself to tex-ready fonts, you might have a look here: tug.dk/FontCatalogue. Also tex.stackexchange.com/questions/25221/outlined-characters – Steven B. Segletes May 17 at 17:48
\mathbb{} from the amsfonts package is an embossed math font, though it is not a blackletter font like Germanica. I mention it because it is not clear from your question whether you are specifically seeking blackletter fonts or merely the embossed feature. – Steven B. Segletes Jun 5 at 12:33
