+I want to use the initial font by Yannis Haralambous. 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.

+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.
+
+The delay was due to many reasons - but we hope you will enjoy
+this issue.
+
+ Holiday greetings to all for the TUGboat production team -
