Decorative initial letter macros are great. Does anyone have one that can 
mortise type?

e.g.,

  /\ NOTHER macro to produce this mortised effect would be very nice. I don't 
 /--\  know whether it is simple to do in TeX or not. One would have to do 
/    \  something with the font metrics in order to get it right I think. Of 
course each letter could be treated differently using \if. Is there an 
easier way?

			Cheers,
				Glenn
