I have a 3-d looking Tile that I currently put behind a letter, and 
later use the image in a FrameMaker Document as a DropCap. A big
"W" sitting on a tile, followed by a much smaller "elcome," for instance.

What I would like to do is include the tile drawing procedure in a
normal font, and then make a composite font where every character typed
is sitting on top of this tile.

I have the enitre Adobe Book Library, but after reading through them,
I still feel no closer to the solution.

If anyone knows how to do this, or has a skeleton program to do this,
or knows of someone who knows...please let me know. I'd be more than
happy to post the result(s) to the net once finished.


Thanks,

MikeC
