Contents of README:
This archive contains PostScript binary files for a few "decorative
initials" (also called "dropped initials") fonts, and the service
files needed in order to use these fonts with [La]TeX.
The fonts are a (small) subset of the ones designed and crafted by:
Dieter Steffmann <dieter@steffmann.de>
Marburger Straße 93a, D-57223 Kreuztal (Germany)
and available under his Web page
http://www.steffmann.de/english/index.htm
(follow the link to "Fonts").
The author gave his permission, that these
fonts can be redistributed and/or modified under the terms
of the LaTeX Project Public License Distributed from CTAN
archives in directory macros/latex/base/lppl.txt.
The files included in the distribution are:
.pfb files: PostScript Font Binary files;
.afm files: Adobe Font Metric files;
.tfm files: TeX Font Metric files, for LaTeX;
.fd files: Font Description files, for LaTeX;
config files: configuration files, for dvips;
.map files: font mapping files, for dvips;
.tex files: example files;
.pdf files: Portable Document Format output from the
above example files.
The names of the included fonts, and the related file names are:
AcornInitials (Acorn.afm, Acorn.pfb)
AnnStone (AnnSton.afm, AnnSton.pfb)
ArtNouveauInitialen (ArtNouv.afm, ArtNouv.pfb)
ArtNouveauCaps (ArtNouvc.afm, ArtNouvc.pfb)
CarrickCaps (Carrickc.afm, Carrickc.pfb)
EichenlaubInitialen (Eichenla.afm, Eichenla.pfb)
EileenCaps-Regular (Eileen.afm, Eileen.pfb)
EileenCaps-Black (EileenBl.afm, EileenBl.pfb)
ElzevierCaps-Regular (Elzevier.afm, Elzevier.pfb)
GotischeInitialen (GotIn.afm, GotIn.pfb)
GoudyInitialen (GoudyIn.afm, GoudyIn.pfb)
KinigsteinCaps (Kinigcap.afm, Kinigcap.pfb)
KonanurKaps (Konanur.afm, Konanur.pfb)
Kramer-Regular (Kramer.afm, Kramer.pfb)
MorrisInitialen (MorrisIn.afm, MorrisIn.pfb)

RothenburgDecorative (Rothdn.afm, Rothdn.pfb)
RoyalInitialen (RoyalIn.afm, RoyalIn.pfb)
SanRemo (Sanremo.afm, Sanremo.pfb)
Starburst-Regular (Starburst.afm, Starburst.pfb)
TypographerCaps (Typocaps.afm, Typocaps.pfb)
ZallmanCaps (Zallman.afm, Zallman.pfb)
In order to install the distribution, copy the files (with the
exception of the .afm files, not needed by LaTeX) to a directory
searched by LaTeX and dvips.
To process the example files, try the commands:
latex <name>.tex
dvips -j0 -P <name> <name>.dvi
where <name> is the base name of the afm and pfb files (one of Acorn,
AnnSton, ...); to process the example files without any previous
installation, try with
TEXCONFIG="\!\!:." dvips -j0 -P <name> <name>.dvi
from the current directory (for the Bourne shell; for C-like shells I
don't know how to change an environment variable on-the-fly).
For what concerns the "-j0", this option should not be needed by
modern versions of dvips (the PostScript output has been generated
by dvips 5.92b); I suspect that these fonts are not completely well
formed internally, but I do not have the time to investigate more
--- using -j0 the PostScript output is consistent. Also, Acrobat
Reader 5.06 chokes on some PDF files (while xpdf has no problems),
in particular the big ones like GoudyInitials; the PDF output has
been generated by Ghostscript 8.00.
The same files are available on the WWW under the URL
http://wwwcdf.pd.infn.it/MLO/
(follow the link to the directory "Initials").
