- EileenCaps and EileenCaps-Black are two related DropCaps fonts drawn in an
- elegant and complex Art Nouveau style. A complete alphabet is available in
- each font, although the 'V' and 'U' look a lot alike (but are different).
- All the characters are Uncial characters decorated with vines and leaves and
- other greenery. The characters of EileenCaps are all surrounded by a black
- box and are drawn in white over that box; the characters of EileenCaps-Black
- are the same as in EileenCaps with the boxes cut out -- which means the
- characters and vinery are black. Only an alphabet of capital letters is in
- this font.
-
- At 300 dots per inch, don't print at sizes below around 72
- points. The detail is very fine and subtle. Since the characters are
- extremely complex, they will likely cause slow printing times when used,
- and in some cases memory situations will make them unprintable. In such
- cases, there is nothing that can be done short of massive memory infusions
- in the CPU or printer. I do not know if these characters are too complex to
- be printed on a Linotronic.

- EileenCaps and EileenCapsBlack
- are named after the person of and the altruism of Eileen Wharmby. They were
- made at Insect Bytes, where for some reason we've found we just can't stop
- doing whatever it is we're doing. But I digress.
