I wanted to point there is now an opentype
version of this font, making it easier to scale and zoom in the viewer. The following example uses fontspec
and can be compiled with xelatex
or lualatex
:

\maketitle
\lettrine{T}{ake} 4 pounds (say 4 \nicefrac{1}{2} pounds) of fresh Amblongusses, and put them in a small pipkin.
\lettrine{C}{over} them with water and boil them for 8 hours incessantly, after which add 2 pints of new milk, and proceed to boil for 4 hours more.
\lettrine{W}{hen} you have ascertained that the Amblongusses are quite soft, take them out and place them in a wide pan, taking care to shake them well previously.
\lettrine{G}{rate} some nutmeg over the surface, and cover them carefully with powdered gingerbread, curry-powder, and a sufficient quantity of Cayenne pepper.
\lettrine{R}{emove} the pan into the next room, and place it on the floor. Bring it back again, and let it simmer for three-quarters of an hour. Shake the pan violently till all the Amblongusses have become a pale purple colour.
\lettrine{T}{hen}, having prepared a paste, insert the whole carefully, adding at the same time a small pigeon, 2 slices of beef, 4 cauliflowers, and any number of oysters.
\lettrine{W}{atch} patiently till the crust begins to rise, and add a pinch of salt from time to time.
\lettrine{S}{erve up} in a clean dish, and throw the whole out of the window as fast as possible.
