I wonder how much the DIN font is optimized for longer german words. While I don't like it as much as the others, Frutiger would be much wider than it, which in practical terms might be bad.

German is pretty common in Switzerland, too...

For long place names, they often use a narrower variant, which is a bit ugly when mixed with normal width on signage.
