I accessed these fonts as \newfont{\yinit}{yinit} The result obtained was: ___ | | | | |___| - - - <- first line of text - - - - - - - <- second line of text - - - - - - - <- third line of text and so on. The box indicates the space occupied by the \yinit font for the first character of the text.This leaves a lot of white space above the first line of text to accomodate the \yinit font for the first character of the text. I want to use these fonts as in "DropCap" fonts in M.S.Word as follows: ____ | | <-- first line of text | | <-- second line of text |____| <-- third line of text <- - - - - fourth line of text and so on. I solicit your valuable help in this regard. end M.KALIDOSS DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICS ST.JOSEPH'S COLLEGE TIRUCHIRAPALLI - 620 002 INDIA EMAIL: mkalidoss@hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 21 Dec 1998 09:31:49 +0000 From: Mimi Burbank Subject: [none] - -0500 Subject: TUGboat 19#3 To: info-tex@shsu.edu, texhax@tex.ac.uk, tex-eds@nic.surfnet.nl, tug-board@tug.org, tub-prod@mailer.scri.fsu.edu Date: Thu, 17 Dec 1998 15:15:20 -0500 (EST) Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Precedence: bulk TUGboat 19 #3 was shipped to the printer on Tuesday of this week, and should be mailed within the next three weeks - depending upon the holiday schedule at the printers.
