Hi world,

I would like to start each paragraph of my document
with a big letter. This style already exists and I
think the name is drop.sty but I'm not sure...

This style just creates big letter, but not very
pleasant to look at. I would like a style that allows
to have this big letter like in old fairytale books.
(the fonts of this first letter were probably
gothic..). If someone have an idea how I can make
this style. Please email me.

A first possibility is to use the calligraphic letters
predefined in LaTeX.

Thanks in advance.
