Larcombe Caps is a set of three PostScript fonts that contain all 26 alphabetic characters as drop caps. The PostScript information for each character is so complex that three fonts were needed to hold all the information. LarcombeCapsAtoI contains the letters A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I; the names of the other two fonts should clue you in as to their contents.
Each character is drawn very ornately, and consists of a white, outlined letter held up by or in front of a muse or nymph wearing a long white dress and plenty of detail of vines and vegetation surrounding it. The bitmaps show nearly none of the detail of the fonts: the screen versions will give no clues as to the real beauty of every single character in the font -- you need to print them on a PostScript printer to see their full glory.

I don't recommend this font be used at sizes smaller than 96 points on a 300-dpi output device, because much of the exquisite detail will otherwise be lost. The printing time for each character will be about a minute or a minute and a half on your usual PostScript printer, so use these characters sparingly. Also, since the fonts are quite large, I recommend you check the "unlimited downloadable fonts" option in the Page Setup dialog box if you plan on using the font in conjunction with any other downloadable fonts, or if you plan on using more than one of the three fonts.
