A Canadian geek, finishing off a chemistry degree. I typically hang around TeX.SX as I like the community and learn things by reading the questions. I'm also active on RPG.SX and History.SX.

You sir or madame, are awesome. I have tested that and it works perfectly.

comment Old-style/Antique typesetting in LaTeX/TeX
Wow, look at those summation signs in Einstein's paper. I'd love to use those in a report sometime just to see people's reaction. If you do build up a font please put it on CTAN.

You are the first one to suggest anything related to drop caps.

Thank you as well for the first link- HPLHS-Blackletter looks quite interesting for future use.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elder_Sign The version on the left is used to end articles in at least one Cthulhu magazine, and I was hoping I wasn't the only Lovecraft/gaming fan to use LaTeX- I've already got a package to typeset dice.

Mico: I've seen punk, not what I'm looking for. More 'written in an old tome 100 years ago in the writers blood'. I'll modify the question to be more specific.

Thanks Caramdir, I'll keep that in mind. Now what about dropcaps, calligraphy, and the rest? Any ideas?

I didn't think I could use truetype or opentype fonts with PDFLaTeX? I was also looking for other typographic ideas to make it look less regular- change the spacing between words randomly for example, or vary the size of each letter sightly, or 'cant' the text at an angle.

I guess if I don't get an answer I can switch to TeXMaker- That is what I used on Linux, I just thought I'd try TeXMakerX/TeXStudio on windows, and liked the complete-as-you-type a bit better.

Ah excellent. Thank you. I'll have to go searching through some archives to see if anyone has answered the BibTeX questions I have.
